Confirm Supported Data Rates
Press FCN to toggle to the Detail function. Use this information to confirm signal
strength and supported data rates.
• #: the number (1-4) of the AP.
• Full MAC: the MAC address of the AP
• dB: the signal strength of the AP
• Ch: the channel of the AP
• 1b2b5b11b is an example of the data rates that may be displayed.
Walk around the site to determine supported data rates, one AP at a time. In any location
you may use the right arrow key to display the second best AP, arrow again to the third
best, and so on to the fourth best. The left arrow key steps you back to the first best.
Each data rate (1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbs) that is supported by the AP is shown. Those rates that
are in the Basic Rate set (sometimes referred to as “required” rates) are indicated by a ‘b’
following the rate number. The Supported and Basic data rate(s) should be the same on
all APs as is appropriate for your environment.
6.3 Solving Coverage Issues
Coverage issues are best resolved by adding and/or relocating access points.
Overlap issues may be resolved by reassigning channels to the access points or by
relocating the access points.
