g and b Mode
In this mode, the Modem is simultaneously compatible with 802.11b and
802.11g wireless clients. This is the factory default mode and ensures
successful operation with all Wi-Fi compatible devices. If you have a mix of
802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend setting the
Modem to g and b mode. This setting should only be changed if you have a
specific reason to do so.
.
g only Mode
g only mode works only with 802.11g clients. This mode is recommended if you
want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes,
select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down box. Then, click
“Apply Changes”.
.
b only Mode
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific
reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may
occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for
interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.
When to use b only Mode
In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 802.11g
wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers
or technology. Switching to this mode can solve problems that sometimes occur
with these clients. If you suspect that you are using a client adapter that falls
into this category of adapters, first check with the adapter vendor to see if there
is a driver update. If no driver update is available, switching to b only mode may
fix your problem. Please note that switching to b only mode will decrease
802.11g performance.
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States and Australia, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of
Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are
other channel requirements. Your Modem is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless
you are in a country that does not allow channel 11). The channel can be
