There is an option for 5GHz-a/n, but I have no options for for 2GHz-g/n, is this normal?
Hardware = RB800 + R52N
Yes. Also keep in mind that if you run in compatibility mode, you’ll see your n throughputs drop when a b or g client connects due to how the wireless systems work together. Is there any reason you are trying to run it in mixed mode?
I just wonder why it is no option like 2GHz-g/n, when there is a 5GHz-a/n option.
Because they are more entangled than a and n are.
I don’t know much about wireless really, but is the list of data rates editable? If you remove 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps from the list of data rates that the AP supports you’ve effectively turned off 802.11b.
I just don’t know if you can do that in RouterOS.
This one had me for a bit.
If you set it to G only, clients can still connect at B speeds, but it has to be a G client. B only clients cannot connect. The same goes for N only. If you set it to N only, you can still connect at 11mb rates, but not with a G or B client.
Because there was only ever one 5Ghz standard before (a) versus the two 2.4GHz standards (b & g). There’s no such thing as a 5GHz-a/b/n.
Had the 5GHz had two previous standards before n, I’m sure the 5Ghz legacy mode option would have included all the standards as well.
Sorry, I don’t get your point here. I have 802.11n cards with only 2GHz, so the option 2GHz-g/n should be there, unless it break some standards.
2GHz-b/g/n mode is legacy mode. There’s only one legacy mode option. You don’t get the option to break it down to 2GHz-b/n and 2GHz-g/n modes. If you need to have both g and n support, you can use 2GHz-b/g/n mode. If you need it so refined that you need g and n only, then you need to re-evaluate what you’re trying to accomplish and whether you’re going to get the results you think you will.
