Hi, A word of caution - we've found that the Realtek 8188/8191 etc devices do not support connecting with only some 802.11b data rates enabled; it's either all or nothing for these devices.
There is a driver update for the 8188CE but all other devices (81919SE, 8723AE etc) are out of luck. The workaround for us was to disable 802.11b completely.
