To configure the data rates with LANconfig, switch to the view Extended settings open the dialog WLAN transmission rates. LANconfig lists the settings for all of the available interfaces. To change the setting for an interface, select its entry and click on Edit.
, and in the sectionOn the left you select the standard that you want to configure.
The configuration can be modified for each of the standards separately
- 802.11abg
- 802.11n
- HT-1
- HT-2
- HT-3
- 802.11ac
- VHT-1
- VHT-2
- VHT-3
Depending on the standard, the following settings are available for each transmission rate and each SSID or P2P link:
- Rx/Tx required
- The AP uses beacons and probe responses to announce to the client that the data rate is "supported" and "required". The AP also uses this data rate to communicate with the client. If the client does not support a particular rate, the AP will reject a connection request.
- Rx/Tx allowed
- The AP announces to the client that the rate is "supported". The AP also uses the rate to communicate with the client. However, the AP also accepts requests from clients that do not support this rate.
- Rx required
- The AP announces to the client that the rate is "supported" and "required", but does not use the rate to communicate with the client.
- Rx allowed
- The AP announces to the client that the rate is "supported", but does not use the rate to communicate with the client.
- Deactivated
- The AP does not announce this rate and does not use it to communicate with the client.
- MCS-9/8/7
- In the case of 802.11ac modules, the data rate per stream option (1, 2 or 3 streams) is restricted to the maximum MCS only.
- None
- With 802.11ac modules, the respective stream option is disabled for the corresponding data direction.
