802.11 g only

[Random44F]

Hi , 

Is it possible to only enable 802.11g on my cisco aironet 1600 series ? I don't want N in there.

many thanks

If you don't want "N" then disable WMM. 

If you want 802.11g only, disable data rates 1 Mbps to 11 Mbps.

thanks very much .

is this by either going to Network --> Network interface --> radio 802.11n 2g.hz and then disable world mode 

or type no world mode under interface configuration mode?

I have done both but still insidder thinks my AP is advertising g,n so what am I missing 

[Random44F]

is it also possible to change the channel width to 20mhz?

[Leo Laohoo]

By default, all radios are on 20 Mhz channel width.

There is NO OPTION to change the channel width of 802.11b radio to 40 Mhz.

Agree with Leo.

First : "802.11n" requires WPA2/AES or OPEN authentication.  So if you do not use these then it will not work.

Second: Under WLAN SSID > QoS feature then disable WMM.  Usually WMM is required for 802.11n support.

These are the main 2 feature required to use 802.11n rates.

If you disable one of them then you will not get 802.11n rate.

Hope it helps.

Disable WMM if you don''t want N in there.

I agree with the previous posts, but if you only want to turn it off on a single AP within your network then you will need to do the following:

• Create an AP group and move the AP into the new group
• Map your SSIDs to the proper interfaces for the group
• Create an RF Profile with all of the MCS Settings un-checked
• Apply the RF Profile to the new AP group

I hope this helps.
