This ensures that 802.11g stations are backwards compatible with legacy 802.11b
stations. With 802.11g protection enabled, a CTS will be used to lock out 802.11b stations
while the 802.11g station is transmitting. While this does allow backwards compatibility with
legacy 802.11b stations, it should be disabled in a pure 802.11g environment, as it will have
a significant impact on 802.11g performance (as high as 50% decrease in throughput).
Block WLAN Relay (Isolate Client)
The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public Wireless Network, enable
this function can provide better security. The device will block packets between wireless
clients (relay). All the wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other.
