Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for configuring one or more transmission parameters of a wireless client in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are provided. In one implementation, the methods include receiving capability information from a wireless client, generating a configuration table including at least one selectable configuration option corresponding to the capability information of the wireless client, receiving user input selecting a configuration option within the configuration table, and generating and sending a configuration packet to the wireless client. The configuration packet contains configuration data for configuring one or more transmission parameters of the wireless client based on the selected configuration option.
