Field
Description
Band
Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x standards.
The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units to fall back to
slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x devices can coexist
in the same network. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at
2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps
rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared
to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)
Channel
Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel.
