Manually Configuring your Router
3. Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: "Mixed (11b+11g)", "11g
Only", and "11b Only". The different modes are explained below.
Mixed (11b+11g) Mode
In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients
simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation
with all devices compatible with Wi-Fi®. If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g
clients in your network, we recommend that you keep the default setting. This
setting should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.
11g-Only Mode
802.11g-Only mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended
only if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch
modes, select the desired mode from the "Wireless Mode" drop-down box. Then,
click "Apply Changes".
11b-Only Mode
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific reason
to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur with some
802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 802.11g and
802.11b standards.
4. Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which to choose. In the United
States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there
are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel
requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels in
which the country you reside. The default is "Auto". The channel can be changed if
needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless
networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away
from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on
channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel,
select the channel from the drop-down list. Click "Apply Changes". The change is
immediate.
