 802.11g only - Features the same benefits as Wireless-B, but offers 5 times the
speed at up to 54 Mbps. Wireless-G currently offers the best combination of
performance and value. You can mix Wireless-B with Wireless-G equipment,
but you will lose the higher performance speeds of Wireless-G.
 802.11b only - Operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band and can transmit data
at speeds of up to 11 Mbps within a range of up to 100-150 feet. Wireless
range can be affected by reflective or signal-blocking obstacles, such as
mirrors, walls, devices and location, whether indoors or outdoors.
9 In the 54g Protection field, select Auto or Off. Do not disable 54g Protection if
there is a possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless
network.
Note: 54g Protection allows 802.11g and 802.11b devices to co-exist in the same
network without “speaking” at the same time. In Auto Mode, the wireless device
will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b
networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under most
conditions.
10 Click Save/Apply to enable the wireless network.
