I did not try to add the lower rates. It really does not make any sense when the different AP models work using the same controller and configuration. AP's 135, 205, 225, and 325 work with this client without an issue.
I assumed the radio chipsets were simular accross the 200 series ap's. I opened a tac case but was wondering if anyone else came accross the issue. I can try the lower rates and test. Thank you
