Supported rates allow an 802.11 network to specify the data rate it supports. When a MU
attempts to join the network, it checks the data rate used on the network. If a rate is selected
as a basic rate, it is automatically selected as a supported rate. The basic default rates for an
802.11a radio differ from those 802.11b default rates, as an 802.11a radio can support a
maximum data rate of 54Mbps, while an 802.11b radio can support a maximum data rate of
11Mbps.
