DescriptionSetting
From the menu, select the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index and data transmit
rate for the radio. The default is Best. For most networks, the default settings work fine.
The available settings also depend on the selection from the Channel Width menu and
the selection from the Guard Interval menu.
MCS Index / Data Rate
From the menu, select the channel width for the radio. Use the following guidelines:
• A wider channel improves the performance.
• The 802.11n specification allows a 40 MHz–wide channel in addition to the legacy
20 MHz channel that is available with other modes.
• The 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but leaves fewer channels available
for use.
• The 802.11ac specification allows an 80 MHz–wide channel in addition to the dynamic
20/40 MHz channel that is available with other modes.
The channel width and guard interval determine the available MCS index and data
transmit rates.
Channel Width
From the menu, select the transmission power of the radio.You can select Max(100%),
50%, 25%, 12.5%, or Min(4%).The default is Max(100%).
If two or more access points are operating in the same area and on
the same channel, interference can occur. In such a situation, you
might want to decrease the output power for an access point. Make
sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio
frequency (RF) output power in your country.
