used. Both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations will be able to
connect.
•

tions will connect at high speed, but 802.11b mode stations will
be unable to connect at all.
Channel No.
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The
Channel list changes according to the Region selected, to ensure that
only legal channels can be selected. In most cases, it does not matter
which channel is used, but it may be necessary to change the wireless
channel if you notice low throughput or poor connections. This could
be caused by interference from another Access Point or wireless
device, and using a different channel may give a better result.
