Radio Rate Settings

Set the following Radio Rates for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands:

2.4 GHz Mesh Point

Click the Select button to configure radio rates for the 2.4 GHz band. Define both minimum Basic
and optimal Supported rates as required for the 802.11b rates, 802.11g rates and 802.11n rates
supported by the 2.4 GHz band. These are the rates wireless client traffic is supported within this
mesh point.
If supporting 802.11n, select a Supported MCS index. Set a MCS (modulation and coding scheme)
in respect to the radio’s channel width and guard interval. A MCS defines (based on RF channel
conditions) an optimal combination of 8 data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams,
different guard intervals and modulation types. Mesh points can communicate as long as they
support the same basic MCS (as well as non-11n basic rates). The selected rates apply to
associated client traffic within this mesh point only.

5.0 GHz Mesh Point

Click the Select button to configure radio rates for the 5.0 GHz band. Define both minimum Basic
and optimal Supported rates as required for 802.11a and 802.11n rates supported by the 5.0 GHz
radio band. These are the rates wireless client traffic is supported within this mesh point.
If supporting 802.11n, select a Supported MCS index. Set a MCS (modulation and coding scheme)
in respect to the radio’s channel width and guard interval. A MCS defines (based on RF channel
conditions) an optimal combination of 8 data rates, bonded channels, multiple spatial streams,
different guard intervals and modulation types. Mesh points can communicate as long as they
support the same basic MCS (as well as non-11n basic rates). The selected rates apply to
associated client traffic within this mesh point only.
