Channel
802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interferance from other devices. If you are experienc-
ing interference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless
phone, change the channel on your 5430 as well as your wireless router.
54g Mode
If you are having difficulty connecting to an 802.11b wireless only router, try switching your 5430
to 802.11b only mode and do the same with your wireless router. This will ensure you are con-
necting to 802.11b devices only.
54g Protection
The 802.11g standards provide a protection method so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist
in the same network without speaking at the same time. Do not disable 54g Protection if there is
a possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless network.
Rate
You may force a lower data rate if you are having trouble getting connected or losing data at a
higher rate. It is important to know that some data rates belong only to one 802.11 standard but
not the other which will force your 5430 to connect to only that network.
802.11g rates; 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps
802.11b rates: 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps
