ATA RATE
Use the Max Data Rate pop-up menu to set the rate of data
transmission to 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps or 11 Mbps. A higher data
rate allows higher throughput, a lower data rate allows better
performance at a greater distance from the access point.
The SkyLINE driver will automatically adjust the data rate to
compensate for distance from the access point in use. The closer a

Since a lower data rate allows for greater distance from the access
point, manually selecting a lower data rate may help with network
performance in some situations.
