    This ensures that 802.11g stations are backwards compatible with legacy 802.11b stations. With 802.11g protection enabled, a CTS will be used to lock out 802.11b stations while the 802.11g station is transmitting. While this does allow backwards compatibility with legacy 802.11b stations, it should be disabled in a pure 802.11g environment, as it will have a significant impact on 802.11g performance (as high as 50% decrease in throughput).
