Prism xmit speed criteria

RouterOS General

Is it documented anyplace as to what the criteria are for setting the Xmit speed on a prism interface? By this I mean, how does an AP using a prism card decide that it is only going to xmit to a client at 1Mbit instead of 11Mbit.

I’m watching a new AP we just deployed ramp customers up and down in speed at times when they have wonderful signal strengths and this AP is out in a rural area that has reasonably low background noise levels.

This is a 2.8.23 based AP if the version has an effect on the criteria used.

The AP finds the best rate to get frames through to the client – this is much too technical to go into any detail.

But a complete lack of information gives an admin no idea what kinds of things might be going wrong that he could possibly fix. Some of us have engineering backgrounds and aren’t afraid of technical answers, or of pointers to technical references.
