Setting the Bridge's Data Rate
The wireless Ethernet standard, 802.11, supports several data rates — the most common are
the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards. The 802.11b standard is slower with a maximum data
rate of 11 Mbps. The 802.11g standard supports data rates up to 54 Mbps. By default the
WGE101 bridge is set to connect at either standard, but it tries first using the 802.11g
standard. If you want to force the bridge to connect using a specific standard, you can change
the data rate on the Wireless Settings page.
Note: The actual data rates achieved can be much lower
than the maximum depending on the devices, distances,
and interference.
1. Start your browser software.
2. Type http:// followed by the IP address for the bridge as the
Web address and press Enter (or Return).
Note: The default value is 192.168.0.201. If you've set the bridge to use DHCP, check the
router table to find out what the currect address is for the bridge.
You'll see the Status page.
3. Click Wireless Settings.
4. Type admin as the User ID and type the current password (password is the default) as the
Password.
5. Click OK.
6. Select either B only (802.11b) or G only (802.11g) as the Data Rate.
7. Click Apply.
