Feature request: Band G/N (not B/G/N) (( This will avoid 802 B Protect mode )))
B
G only
B/G
N only
B/G/N
G/N -- this selection does not exist and is needed
The problem is and band that allows for B rate connections is also introducing a problem with "802.11 B Protect mode".
If you have a B/G/N or B/G network, it only takes one connection in the B speed range to auto enable "802.11 B Protect mode". When a wireless network is in "802.aa B Protect mode" all wireless throughput to other perfect wireless clients takes dive into the slow lane.
Example
An AP has 2 clients connected
Client 1 has a 54 meg G connection
Client 2 has a 11 meg or slower B connection
Client 1 now has a throughput close to 12 meg because of B Protect mode.
The same thing is happening when using B/G/N. Perfect G and N connected clients have limited throughput when a B connection is made - thus forcing B Protect mode.
I would like to be able to use a G/N and/or G/N/AC mode which excludes B connection and thus avoids B Protect mode.
