3. Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless
modes: “Mixed (11b+11g)”, “11g Only”, and “11b Only”.
The different modes are explained below.
“Mixed (11b+11g)” Mode —In this mode, the Router is compatible
with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. 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 leave the
setting as defaultThis setting should only be changed if you have
a specific reason to do so.
”11g –Only” Mode—802.11g-Only mode works with 802.11g clients
only. This mode is recommended only 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”.
”11b 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.
4. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the
United States, 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 Router is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country you reside in. The default is “Auto”.
The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel
that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance,
use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless
network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then
set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the
channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is
immediate.
