Default: Auto The rate of data transmission. Choose an appropriate setting based on the speed of your wireless network(s). Select Auto to have the WRP400 automatically use the fastest possible data rate and to enable the Auto-Fallback feature.

This function boosts the ability of the WRP400 to catch all Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease performance.
