Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not the rate of transmission but
a series of rates at which the Services Ready Platform
can transmit. The Cisco RV215W advertises its basic
rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so
they know which rates will be used. The Services Ready
Platform will also advertise that it will automatically
select the best rate for transmission.
The default setting is Default, when the Cisco RV215W
can transmit at all standard wireless rates (1 Mbps, 2
Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps,
48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps). In addition to B and G speeds,
the Cisco RV215W supports N speeds. Other options
are 1-2 Mbps, for use with older wireless technology,
and All, when the Cisco RV215W can transmit at all
wireless rates.
The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission.
If you want to specify the Cisco RV215W rate of data
transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting.
Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission should be set depending
on the speed of your wireless network. You can select
from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select
Auto to have the Cisco RV215W automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the Cisco RV215W and a
wireless client. The default is Auto.
N Transmission
Rate

select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can
select Auto to have the Cisco RV215W automatically

Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best
possible connection speed between the Cisco RV215W
and a wireless client. The default is Auto.
