settings.

Protection Mode (Disabled by default.) When you activate protection, you control how
802.11 devices know when they should communicate with another
device. This is important in a mixed environment of both 802.11b and
802.11g/11n clients.
WARNING: Activating this option (and configuring the settings)
boosts the interoperability of 802.11b and 802.11g/11n devices
but severely decreases performance.
• CTS-only: Choose this option to force all destination devices to

certification.
•

devices to confirm a data exchange on both ends before
