User manual

• 802.11 mode is the feature that sets the type of 802.11 i.e. a, b or g. This feature is only available
where dual band radio is being used and will be missing from independent versions of 5.8GHz
firmware and 2.4GHz firmware. The mode for octopus 5800 series is 802.11a.
• The Super G option enables Super G mode for 802.11g (feature not available in Octopus 5800
Series). Super G is Atheros' proprietary frame-bursting, compression and channel bonding
technology to improve IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN performance. The throughput transmission speed
limit when using Super G is claimed to be up to 40Mbit/s-60Mbit/s at a 108Mbit/s signaling rate, which
is achieved through the bonding of two 54Mbit/s 802.11g channels.
• Wireless Security Mode will be discussed in detail in the wireless security section. The Octopus
5800S AP supports WEP, WPA-Personal & WPA-Enterprise whereas the Octopus 5826 Client
supports only WEP and WPA-Personal.
