Rate
The Basic Rate setting is not the rate of transmission but
a series of rates at which the Services Ready Platform
can transmit. The device advertises its basic rate to the
other wireless devices in your network, so they know
which rates will be used. The Services Ready Platform
will also advertise that it will automatically select the
best rate for transmission.
The default setting is Default, when the device can
transmit at all standard wireless rates (1 Mbps, 2 Mbps,
5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48
Mbps, and 54 Mbps). In addition to B and G speeds, the
device supports N speeds. Other options are 1-2 Mbps,
for use with older wireless technology, and All, when the
device can transmit at all wireless rates.
The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission.
If you want to specify the device rate of data
transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting.
The rate of data transmission should be set depending
on the speed of your wireless network. You can select
from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select
Auto to have the device automatically use the fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature.
Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the device and a wireless
client. The default is Auto.
The rate of data transmission should be set depending
on the speed of your Wireless-N networking. You can
select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can
select Auto to have the device automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the device and a wireless
client. The default is Auto.
