Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your router can operate in four different wireless modes: "g and b", "g
only", "b only", and "off"� The different modes are explained (below)�
g and b 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 Wi-Fi-compatible devices� if you have a mix
of 802�11b and 802�11g clients in your network, we recommend setting the
router to g and b mode� This setting should only be changed if you have a
specific reason to do so�

g only Mode
802�11g 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"�
b 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�
off Mode
This option will turn off the wireless functionality�
When to use b only Mode
in some cases, older 802�11b clients may not be compatible with
802�11g wireless� These adapters tend to be of inferior design and
may use older drivers or technology� switching to this mode can solve
problems that sometimes occur with these clients� if you suspect that
you are using a client adapter that falls into this category of adapters,
first check with the adapter vendor to see if there is a driver update� if
there is no driver update available, switching to b only mode may fix your
problem� please note that switching to b only mode will decrease
802.11g performance.
