Parameters

data-rates 2.4GHz [b-only|bg|bgn|default|g-only|gn]
data-rates Specifies the 802.11 rates supported when mapped to a 2.4 GHz radio
b-only Uses rates that support only 11b clients
bg Uses rates that support both 11b and 11g clients
bgn Uses rates that support 11b, 11g and 11n clients
default Uses the default rates configured for a 2.4 GHz radio
g-only Uses rates that support operation in 11g only
gn Uses rates that support 11g and 11n clients 
data-rates 5GHz [a-only|an|default]
data-rates Specifies the 802.11 rates supported when mapped to a 5.0 GHz radio
a-only Uses rates that support operation in 11a only
an Uses rates that support 11a and 11n clients
default Uses default rates configured for a 5.0 GHz 
data-rates 2.4GHz custom [1|11|12|18|2|24|36|48|5.5|54|6|9|basic-1|basic-11|

mcs-3s|mcs0-15|mcs0-23|mcs0-7|mcs16-23|mcs8-15|mcs8-23]
data-rates [2.4GHz|5GHz] Specifies the 802.11 rates supported when mapped to a 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz radio
custom Configures a data rates list by specifying each rate individually. Use 'basic-' prefix before a rate to indicate it is used as a basic rate (For example, 'data-rates custom basic-1 basic-2 5.5 11').

The data-rates for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz channels are the same with a few exceptions. The 2.4 GHz channel has a few extra data rates: 1, 11, 2, and 5.5.
1,11,2,5.5 The following data rates are specific to the 2.4 GHz channel:
  • 1 – 1-Mbps
  • 11 – 11-Mbps
  • 2 – 2-Mbps
  • 5.5 – 5.5-Mbps
12,18,24,36,48,54,6,9, basic-1,basic-11, basic-12,basic-18, basic-2, basic-36,basic-48, basic-5.5, basic-54,basic-6, basic-9, basic-mcs0-7,mcs0-15, mcs0-7,mcs8-15 The following data rates are common to both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz channels:
  • 12 – 12 Mbps
  • 18 – 18-Mbps
  • 24 – 24 Mbps
  • 36 – 36-Mbps
  • 48 – 48-Mbps
  • 54 – 54-Mbps
  • 6 – 6-Mbps
  • 9 – 9-Mbps
  • basic-1 – basic 1-Mbps
  • basic-11 – basic 11-Mbps
  • basic-12 – basic 12-Mbps
  • basic-18 – basic 18-Mbps

  • basic-54 – basic 54-Mbps
  • basic-6 – basic 6-Mbps
  • basic-9 – basic 9-Mbps
  • basic-mcs-1s – Modulation and coding scheme data rates for 1 Spatial Stream
  • mcs-1s – Applicable to 1-spatial stream data rates
  • mcs-2s – Applicable to 2-spatial stream data rates
  • mcs-3s – Applicable to 3-spatial stream data rates
