Data Rate

The Data Rate parameter tells the Cisco Wireless LAN Adapter what data rate you wish to use. The 1 Mbps rate will give you the greatest range at the expense of lower throughput. The 2 Mbps rate will give you the highest throughput at the expense of reduced range.

The supported Data Rates for the PC2500 include 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps.

The Data Rate MUST match the Data Rate of the Access Points (Infrastructure Mode) or other Clients (Ad Hoc Mode) you wish to communicate with, otherwise THE Cisco Wireless LAN Adapter WILL NOT ASSOCIATE TO THEM.
