Basic Rate—The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a
series of rates at which the Gateway can transmit. The Gateway will advertise its
Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates
will be used. The Gateway will also advertise that it will automatically select the best
rate for transmission. Select the appropriate option:
Default, for transmission at all standard wireless rates
1-2Mbps, for use with older wireless technology
All, for transmission at all wireless rates
Wi-Fi Alt, the basic rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 12, and 24 Mbps; supported rates are
9, 18, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps. If you are not sure which rate to select, keep the
default, Default.
