What is PHY mode coverage?

PHY mode coverage: Shows where 802.11a/b/g/n/ac are present. Wireless transmit rate: Shows the ratio transmitted from the access point to the client. Troubleshooting: Shows a really-really simple map where problems might occur.

What are PHY types?

WiFi PHY Types

Wi-Fi Version Name	Phy Type	Band
3	802.11g	2.4 GHz
4	802.11n	2.4 or 5 GHz
5	802.11ac	5 GHz
6	802.11ax	2.4 or 5 GHz

Which mode is best for WIFI?

Security

WPA3 Personal is the newest, most secure protocol currently available for Wi-Fi devices.
WPA2/WPA3 Transitional is a mixed mode that uses WPA3 Personal with devices that support that protocol, while allowing older devices to use WPA2 Personal (AES) instead.

What is Max PHY rate?

The physical layer (PHY) rate. It is the maximum speed that data can move across a wireless link between a wireless client and a wireless router.

Which WIFI mode is best for 2.4 GHz?

For the 2.4GHz network, choose channels 1, 6 or 11. For the 5GHz network, choose channels 40, 80 or 160. You can also leave it set to automatic or default settings if it seems to be working fine.

Which is faster 802.11 N or 802.11 AC?

802.11ac vs 802.11n Speed WiFi is always promoted using ‘theoretical’ speeds and by this standard 802.11ac is capable of 1300 megabits per second (Mbps) which is the equivalent of 162.5 megabytes per second (MBps). This is 3x faster than the typical 450Mbps speed attributed to 802.11n.

Where to find PHY mode in NetSpot pro?

The PHY Mode Coverage visualization is one of the PRO visualizations available only to those that have upgraded to the PRO or Enterprise version of NetSpot. Wi-Fi Network: Each Wi-Fi network detected can be mapped individually. Simply check the box next to the network (s) you wish to view on the left-hand side of the NetSpot window.

What are the different types of WiFi PHY?

WiFi PHY Types Wi-Fi Version Name Phy Type Year Band Backwards Compatibility 802.11 1997 2.4 GHz 1 802.11b 1999 2.4 GHz 802.11 2 802.11a 1999 5 GHz 3 802.11g 2003 2.4 GHz 802.11, 802.11b

How to differentiate between 802.11 PHY types?

In the 802.11 5Ghz band there are several PHY types of frames. Those are non-HT/OFDM, HT, VHT, and HE. All those have different frame formats, especially in the preamble (physical header). The preamble for all PHY types starts with an equal legacy preamble for backward compatibility, and then each PHYs have its own HT, VHT, or HE preamble.

What is the minimum PHY mode signal level?

Mode PHY Coverage Signal Level: By clicking the Visualization Configuration gear icon, the minimum signal level can be set. The default level is set at -70dBm.
