11g Protection Ensures that your wireless router does not
Mode interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11b
networks cannot hear 802.11g networks, but
802.11g networks can hear 802.11b networks.
802.11g networks cause collisions on 802.11b
networks so the Protection Mode forces the
802.11g network to negotiate around the
