MCS Table

The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11n/g or 
802.11n/a is selected as the 802.11 Radio Mode.

IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called 
MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This 
is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network 
performance in terms of throughput. 

For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have 
the NWA use the data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the 
NWA to use the data rate.
