Configure advanced rate selection for a WiFi
network
Advanced rate selection lets you improve the capacity of an individual WiFi network (as
opposed to a radio, which affects all WiFi network on the radio) so that you can reach
the optimal balance between the following components in the WiFi network:
• Types of traffic (multicast, management, control, and data traffic)
• Number and proximity of clients (the client density)
• Types of clients (the WiFi modes that clients can support, including legacy WiFi
modes)
• Throughput speed for clients
• Area that the WiFi network must cover
To successfully configure advanced rate selection, we recommend that you determine
what the clients in your network can require (the types of traffic, the supported WiFi
modes, and the expected throughput speed), how many clients potentially can connect
simultaneously to the WiFi network, and where the clients can be located.
Note: By default, advanced rate selection is disabled. If you enable advanced rate
selection, the access point applies rate control settings to WiFi connections in a regular
WiFi network but not to connections in a wireless distribution system (WDS) or Insight
Instant Mesh WiFi network.
