Simply enter the following in the "WLAN > Wireless security" tab in the "custom config box":

Code:
basic_rates=60 120 240
supported_rates=60 90 120 180 240 360 480 540


and the B rates are gone

What technical data did that come from? I'm just curious. Because it doesn't follow anything in the 2.4 spectrum from anything I've ever read.

You can read about it yourself: https://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/7338

BS has added 11Mbit (B-rate) because allegedly someone complained that there are problems with any Android devices (without B-rate)
Can none of us understand but good.

The point of NG-Mixed is surely that you don't want to have B-rates.

If you want to have B-rates you can also select "Mixed".

I guess I need to be a little clearer or obtuse:

None of those rates follow any standards, as best I can tell.

It says backwards compatibility.
As I said, the point of NG-Mixed is that you don't want to have B rates, otherwise you can just take Mixed, which is B/G/N.

Understood. I completely forgot about hostapd rates being 100k segments Embarassed Cool
