Hi guys.
I have setup cisco 877w connected in non root bridge mode to other non cisco wireless N router (I don't have administrative access to it). I'd like to disable B mode at 877w router and increase link statility
Current configuration:
=========
interface Dot11Radio0
description -= outside WBR 2 management AP =-
ip address dhcp
ip access-group di_in in
ip nat outside
ip inspect dial out
ip virtual-reassembly in
ip tcp adjust-mss 1360
!
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
!
ssid PS-mgmt
!
speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
packet retries 24 drop-packet
station-role non-root
antenna gain 0
crypto ipsec df-bit clear
=========
Could you suggest if bellow is right code to disable B mode channel?

Also is it good idea to enable short preamble (by enabling "short-slot-time")? maybe somebody can suggest "best practices" methods to increase link stability? Distance between management AP and 877w router no more 10-15 meters. Open space. signal strength 59-67 dbm. c877w and management AP have installed two omni direction (unfortunately) 8dbm antennas:

Thank you.
