Is there a way to make dual-band multi-mode (a/b or a/b/g) wireless clients automatically connect for best throughput?
Not that we’ve seen yet. Most dual-band products have been based on Atheros’ chipset, drivers and client. Unfortunately, the only control you get over connection mode is the ability to select the modes that are enabled. Our testing has shown that the client is very reluctant to switch to an alternative mode, even when the signal level is low or the signal is lost completely!
