Basic Rate Set
The router broadcasts different transmission
rates so clients know which transmission rate to
use to join the network. The default is Default.
The options are:
1 to 2
Mbps
The slowest speed available.
Default
Ensures compatibility with
802.11b or 802.11g devices
All
Ensures compatibility with all
devices.
11g Protection
Mode
Ensures that your wireless router does not
interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11b
networks cannot hear 802.11g networks, but
802.11g networks can hear 802.11b networks.
802.11g networks cause collisions on 802.11b
networks so the Protection Mode forces the
802.11g network to negotiate around the
802.11b network. The default is Auto.
The options are:
Disable
802.11g Protection Mode is
never used.
Auto
802.11g Protection Mode is used
if either an 802.11b client joins
the network or the AP detects an
802.11b network on the same
channel
