[yuvaraj02]

hi, I am using Aironet Autonomous 1252 AP. The version used is: Cisco IOS Software, C1260 Software (AP3G1-K9W7-M), Version 12.4(25d)JA1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) I want to disable 802.11n on 2.4GHz interface. Please tell the CLI command to do this. Thanks in advance. uv.

Hi,

It is present in WLC but in Autonomous AP , I think you would have to disable data rates used by 802.11n which are called MCS rates. It is the same way , we disable 802.11b without disabling 802.11g.

(config)#int d0
(config-if)#no speed m0-7
(config-if)#no speed m8-15

Why you want to disable 802.11n data rates ?

There are few other ways as well. For 802.11n you should have following

1. WMM enable

2. either Open Authentication or WPA2/AES

So if you are not using 1 & 2 both, you won't get 802.11n data rates. Refer this

Hi ,

Yeah. But normally people use wpa2 only for security and if you want to disable 802.11n for this , 802.11n rates should be disabled so that clients connect as b/g. Alternatively , go to the wireless adapter of the client and disable 802.11n so that client use b/g only.
