EAPOL-Rate

Set the data rate in Mbps for EAPOL transmission.

WLAN clients use EAP over LAN (EAPOL) to login to the access point by WPA and/or 802.1x. They encapsulate EAP packets in Ethernet frames to allow EAP communications on layer-2 connections.

Under certain circumstances it may be desirable to select a lower data rate for the transfer of EAPOL packets than that available for the payload data. For example, in the case of mobile WLAN clients, high data rates can cause the loss of EAPOL packets, which in turn leads to considerable delays in client association. This procedure can be stabilized by selecting specific data rates for EAPOL.
