Network Setup

Supported Rates allow an 802.11 network to specify the data rate it supports. When a MU attempts to
join the network, it checks the data rate used on the network. If a rate is selected as a basic rate it is
automatically selected as a supported rate. The basic default rates for an 802.11a radio differ from those
default rates available to an 802.11b radio, as an 802.11a radio can support a maximum data rate of
54Mbps, while an 802.11b radio can support a maximum data rate of 11Mbps.
