– Wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an access point. If more than
one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. This can only
happen when the various access points are using the same SSID.
• MCS Index/Data Rate. From the pull-down menu, select the available transmit data rate
of the wireless network. Also, depending on the band selected, the set of rates will vary.
The possible data rates supported are:
• Data Rates for Channel Width=20MHz and Guard Interval=short (400ms): Best,
7.2 Mbps, 14.4 Mbps, 21.7 Mbps, 28.9 Mbps, 43.3 Mbps, 57.8 Mbps, 65 Mbps, 72.2
Mbps, 14.44 Mbps, 28.88 Mbps, 43.33 Mbps, 57.77 Mbps, 86.66 Mbps, 115.56 Mbps,
130 Mbps, 144.44 Mbps
• Data Rates for Channel Width=20MHz and Guard Interval=long (800ms): Best,
6.5 Mbps, 13 Mbps, 19.5 Mbps, 26 Mbps, 39 Mbps, 52 Mbps, 58.5 Mbps, 65 Mbps,
13 Mbps, 26 Mbps, 39 Mbps, 52 Mbps, 78 Mbps, 104 Mbps, 117 Mbps, 130 Mbps
• Data Rates for Channel Width=40MHz and Guard Interval=short: Best, 15
Mbps, 30 Mbps, 45 Mbps, 60 Mbps, 90 Mbps, 120 Mbps, 135 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 30
Mbps, 60 Mbps, 90 Mbps, 120 Mbps, 180 Mbps, 240 Mbps, 270 Mbps, 300 Mbps
• Data Rates for Channel Width=40MHz and Guard Interval=long: Best, 13.5
Mbps, 27 Mbps, 40.5 Mbps, 54 Mbps, 81 Mbps, 108Mbps, 121.5 Mbps, 135 Mbps, 27
Mbps, 54 Mbps, 81 Mbps, 108Mbps, 162 Mbps, 216 Mbps, 243 Mbps, 270 Mbps
• Channel Width. From the pull-down menu, select the desired channel width.
• 20 MHz - This is the static, legacy mode. It gives the least throughput.
• 40 MHz - This is the static, high-throughput mode. Legacy clients will not be able to
connect in this mode.
• 20/40 MHz - This is the dynamic, compatibility mode.
• Guard Interval. From the pull-down menu, select the desired guard interval. The guard
interval protects from interference from other transmissions. The default is Auto.
• Output Power. From the pull-down menu, select the transmit power of the access point.
The options are Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, and Minimum. Decrease the transmit power if
two or more APs are close together and use the same channel frequency. The default is
Full. (The transmit power may vary depending on the local regulatory regulations.
