Hi,

What is the difference between ofdm rate vs mcs rate ?

Thanks

OFDM is the modulation technique used in 802.11a ,802.11g ,802.11n or 802.11ac. If you need good understanding about OFDM refer below

If you talk about OFDM rate, I think you refer to the data rates 6,9,12,18,24,36,48,54 Mbps values.

MCS rates are used in 802.11n & 802.11ac. Refer below for those values

Below page also gives what RSSI & SNR you should have to achieve these MCS rates.

Hi,

what is the relation between theses datarate and mcs inidex .

How would you read the mcsindex ?

Thanks

Hi

Refer below to see what data rates relate to each MCS index value.

Hi,

If i am getting a data rate (n device ) like "6,9,12,18,24,36,48,54" Means i am not getting 802.11n data rate ?

Thanks

Yes, you are not.

to get 802.11n data rates below need to fulfil

1. SSID should have either no security (open) or WPA2 with AES encryption (either PSK or 802.1X)

2. WMM should be enabled (either Allowed or Required under WLAN QoS tab)

Hi,

What is the difference between the data rate which is shown in the beacon fram and the data rate which is shown in the encrypted data frame

Ack Frame

Encrypted Data Frame

Thanks

Management Frames are sent lowest mandatory rates configured. In your set up 12Mbps might configure as mandatory.

Data frames can be sent any supported data rates (including MCS). According to the value 13Mbps, it is MCS1 with 20MHz channel width setting.
