Changing the Protection Mode

1 After opening the Web User interface, click Wireless under Configuration.

2 When the Configure::Wireless::Common workspace appears, click Edit Common Set-

tings.

3 When the Configure::Wireless::Advanced::Common workspace appears, review the

options.

4 Click the radio button by your preferred Protection Mode—if any. (Disabled by

default.)

If you activate protection, you control how 802.11 devices know when they should

communicate to another device. This is important in a mixed environment of both

802.11b and 802.11g clients. Activating this option (and configuring the settings)

boosts the interoperability of 802.11b and 802.11g devices but will severely decrease

performance.
