Changing the Transfer Rate
The default transfer rate setting,
Automatic
, allows your Wireless AP
to automatically adjust its transfer speed for optimal performance
and the longest operating range. Adaptec recommends that
whenever possible, you maintain the Automatic setting.
However, if your Wireless AP’s transfer rate changes frequently, you
can set a lower transfer rate to achieve a more stable connection. The
fixed rate speed options are 11 Megabits per second (Mbps),
5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 1 Mbps.
To change the transfer rate for your Wireless AP:
1 Open the Wireless Access Point Utility and log on. (See page
12.)
2 Click the Basic Set-up tab.
3 In the Transfer Rate drop-down box, select the rate you want.
4 Click Save.
Your changes are saved. You must reboot your Wireless AP to
apply your changes. Click Reboot on the Success page, or
continue working in the Wireless Access Point Utility and click
Reboot from the Administration page (see page 27) at the end of
your session. You do not have to reboot your computer.
