All,

In the past, I've been able to configure A and G radios with custom data rates that drastically improved performance. In this set up, I would disable all the 'B' rates, 6Mb and 9Mb rates and set the basic rate to 12Mb.

With the new 802.11n radios, I can still do this as long as I set the radios to G-Only or A.

When I set to b/g/n or a/n, I run into a problem, in that clients can no longer associate unless their data rates are configured EXACTLY the same as the AP. This is not an ideal situation, as we have clients that do not have N radios, and we do not want to support the lowest data rates at all (6, 9, MCS 0,1,3,8,9,11).

So, how can we migrate from A/G to N-only without running the default data rates, which almost always results in less-than-optimal performance?

Thanks,

hi,

remove all HT-MCS basic rates.
then you can set the custom data rates with
at least one basic rate for "b" or/and "g"

Thanks for that. Will test this as soon as I have a chance. Have a great mix of clients to test against, and want to squeeze every bit I can out of my APs.
