Understanding Wep/Wpa Security Options - NETGEAR WG102 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point
– In "Infrastructure" mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an
access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is
used. This can only happen when the various access points are using the same SSID.
• Data Rate. Shows the available transmit data rate of the wireless network. 108 Mbps is only
available when the operating mode is 802.11g only and the channel is 6. The default is Best.
• Output Power. Set the transmit signal strength of the access point. The options are full, half,
quarter, eighth, and min. Decrease the transmit power if more than one AP is colocated using
the same channel frequency. The default is Full.
