Section 3
Field Description
11g Protection Ensures that your wireless router does not interfere with neighbor
Mode networks. 802.11g networks cause "collisions" on 802.11b networks,
so the Protection Mode forces the 802.11g network to negotiate
around the 802.11b network.
The options are:
WDS Mode Enables WDS mode, which allows you to share and expand your
network with other wireless Access Points (AP). The WDS fields, WDS
Restrict Mode and WDS Restrict MAC address, become active once
WDS is enabled.
When WDS Mode is enabled, any AP configured to your router's
settings can connect to your network. The default is disabled.
Protects your network by assigning access to only the access points
WDS Restrict

Restrict MAC Addresses fields.
The default is enabled.
