User Manual

802.11g ProtectionProtection is the protocol feature the gives 802.11g compatibility
with older 802.11b equipment. It does slow down 802.11g stations, but not by forcing
them to use slower 802.11b data rates. When an access point activates protection, it
"wraps" faster 802.11g transmissions with a slower, backwards-compatible frame.
The slowdown comes from the backwards-compatibility wrapper, not a reduction in
the data rate of the frame.
