Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] beacons and data rates
In large classrooms and auditoriums we have set the minimum non-802.11n rate to 54 Mbps for both 2.4 and 5 GHz (and multicast). In large classrooms the 802.11n MCS0/7 Mbps is enabled because of some issues with Apple laptops. After MCS0 the minimum is MCS5/58Mbps. In some auditoriums we have 6 APs but 2.4 GHz radios are enabled on only 3 of those APs. For most of the rest of campus 2.4 GHz the minimum non-802.11n rate is 36 Mbps and 802.11n minimum is MCS4/43Mbps. For most of the rest of campus 5 GHz the minimum non-802.11n rate is 6 Mbps and 802.11n minimum is MCS0/7Mbps. In the past we have set the beacon interval to 200 ms but after we disabled the lower speeds we set the beacon interval back to 100 ms.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] beacons and data rates
At 2.4Ghz, our minimum data rate and beaconing rate is 12Mbps. At 5GHz, it is 6Mbps.We have our beacon interval set at 100ms. In 2008, we shut off everything below 5.5Mbps (at 2.4Ghz) in 2008. In 2011, we shut off everything below 12Mbps, which how it is still set today.
