System Configuration

Radio Settings G (802.11g)
The IEEE 802.11g standard operates within the 2.4 GHz band at up to 54 Mbps.
Also note that because the IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the IEEE
802.11b standard, it allows clients with 802.11b wireless network cards to associate
to an 802.11g access point.
Enable – Enables radio communications on the access point. (Default: Enabled)
Radio Channel – The radio channel that the access point uses to communicate with
wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the
channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, in the United States you can deploy up to
three access points in the same area (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11). Also note that the
channel for wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that used by the
access point to which it is linked. (Range: 1-11 (US/Canada); Default: 1)
Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an
unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)
