802.11 Network Settings

If using 5 GHz, ensure the 802.11a/n/ac network status is Enabled.

Set the Beacon Period to 100 ms.

Ensure DTPC Support is enabled.

If using Cisco 802.11n Access Points, ensure ClientLink is enabled.

With the current releases, Maximum Allowed Clients can be configured.

Recommended to set 12 Mbps as the mandatory (basic) rate and 18 Mbps and higher as supported (optional) rates; however

some environments may require 6 Mbps to be enabled as a mandatory (basic) rate.

Enable CCX Location Measurement.

If using 2.4 GHz, ensure the 802.11b/g/n network status and 802.11g is enabled.

Set the Beacon Period to 100 ms.

Short Preamble should be Enabled in the 2.4 GHz radio configuration setting on the access point when no legacy clients that

require a long preamble are present in the wireless LAN. By using the short preamble instead of long preamble, the wireless

network performance is improved.

Ensure DTPC Support is enabled.

If using Cisco 802.11n Access Points, ensure ClientLink is enabled.

With the current releases, Maximum Allowed Clients can be configured.

Recommended to set 12 Mbps as the mandatory (basic) rate and 18 Mbps and higher as supported (optional) rates assuming that

there will not be any 802.11b only clients that will connect to the wireless LAN; however some environments may require 6

Mbps to be enabled as a mandatory (basic) rate.

If 802.11b clients exist, then 11 Mbps should be set as the mandatory (basic) rate and 12 Mbps and higher as supported

(optional).
