2.4 Wi-Fi Application Gain Table

The gain table setting that the product uses in its Application mode is called the Application Gain Table.
  • The Application Gain Table setting is the composite table derived from both the IEEE 802.11 Performance Gain Table and the final Regulatory Certification Gain Table by comparing each gain value for the given channel and data rate and choosing the lower gain value for the selected channel and data rate. Perform this for all of the channels and data rates in the gain table.
