802.11ac only

[Mark]

How do I make the Access Point only support 802.11ac or 802.11n. Is there a way to only support certain protocols without allowing things like 802.11a and 802.11b?

The only thing I see if what I provide. I don't see an "n-only" or an "n and ac" selection.

You will use it for a bridge or mesh? The mesh link select the best rate. Just disable the low basic rates. This are used for broadcast and multicast.

I Thought that AC would be better for use in a wifi bridge,

[Timo1]

Based on the wireless standards it's not possible to disable 802.11g or 802.11a data rates. You still need this basic rates. 802.11n and 802.11ac are no possible basic rates.

Why you would disable the 802.11g data rates?

[Alona]

You mean you only want MCS rates? I wouldn't recommend that. Not all clients like connecting using MCS rates. You will need some of the basic OFDM rates.
So - choose custom rates and choose what you need. This is not protocol issue. Protocol defines higher rates but for the most part in real world with variety of clients - you need to choose your rates based on your deployement, AP spread and overlap and clients that you have.

Right, but the problem is I cannot just support 802.11n and AC. I have to support more than that.

MCS-4s is 802.11a/g and only part of 802.11ac. How would I just support all of 802.11n and AC?

MSC0-7 is everything. I am not clear how do just support the protocol that I want. Looking at that chart, I have the same question. So is the answer that I cannot support just 802.11n and AC. I have to support more than this?
