Customize Radios and Rates Settings

Complete the Add a Network Policy task.

By default, Extreme Networks devices advertise support for all rates. By setting specific rates, you can restrict access to just those clients that can support them. Use these controls to force clients to connect at higher data rates on an SSID, which can help increase average data transfer rates.

  1. Go to Configure > Network Policies.
  2. Select an existing policy, and then select Edit.
  3. Select Next to open the Wireless Network page.
  4. Go to Additional Settings > Optional Settings, and then select CUSTOMIZE.
  5. Go to the Radios and Rates section.
  6. Select a radio frequency and configure the basic (mandatory) and optional data rates per SSID.
  7. Select SAVE RATE SETTING.
  8. Repeat steps 6–7 for each radio frequency.

Continue configuring Optional Settings in the Wireless Networks configuration window. Select SAVE OPTIONAL SETTINGS to save your changes.
