Command Usage
• The maximum transmission distance is affected by the data rate. The lower
the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. Please refer to the table
for maximum distances on page C-5.
• When turbo mode is enabled (page 7-109) for 802.11a, the effective
maximum speed specified by this command is double the entered value
(e.g., setting the speed to 54 Mbps limits the effective maximum speed to
108 Mbps).
Example
SMC AP(if-wireless g)#speed 6
SMC AP(if-wireless g)#
