Forcing 802.11b

Frank Zhao

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

I have two CC3200 launchpads, one as AP and one as STA. I need both running in 802.11b only, 11mbps. I do not see how to do this in the SimpleLink SDK. (there's raw mode, but I don't want to use raw mode). How can I force my network to use 11mbps?

Thanks

Hi Frank,

I have not done what you want to do. But, I think the details how to set 802.11 11 mbps can be found at the doc below.

Frank,

AFAIK, you cannot set the mode to 11b only - Nevertheless, I'll check internally and confirm.

Frank,

The device cannot be set to work in 11b only.

I am not sure of the reasons you would want to force a device to use 802.11b, as this would impact the performance/speed of all other devices using the same Wifi Router. A good summary of this issue is presented here - http://superuser.com/questions/430185/does-a-wireless-n-802-11n-network-have-poor-performance-when-in-b-g-mixed-mo
