5. In the Base Settings section, do the following:
• Radio Mode – Click one of the following radio options:
•b – Click to select the 802.11b-only mode of the 802.11b/g radio. If
selected, the AP will use only 11b (CCK) rates with all associated
clients. The AP will not transmit or receive 11g rates.
•g – Click to select the 802.11g-only mode of the 802.11b/g radio. If
selected, the AP will not accept associations from 11b clients, but it
will still use all CCK and OFDM 11g rates with its associated clients.
To disable CCK rates, use the Min/Max Basic Rate and Max
Operation Rate controls to select OFDM-only rates.
•b/g – Click to enable both the 802.11g mode and the 802.11b mode
of the 802.11b/g radio. If selected, the AP will accept associations
from all clients and use all available 11b and 11g rates.
•off – Click to disable the 802.11b/g radio.
• DTIM Period – Type the desired DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication
Message) period — the number of beacon intervals between two DTIM
beacons. To ensure the best client power savings, use a large number.
For example, 5. Use a small number to minimize broadcast and multicast
delay. The default value is 5.
