Using the Wireless Mode switch
Your Router can operate in three different wireless modes: "Mixed
(11b+11g)", "11g Only", and "11b Only"� The different modes are
explained below�
Mixed (11b+11g) 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 devices compatible with Wi-Fi
a mix of 802�11b and 802�11g clients in your network, we recommend
that you keep the default setting� This setting should only be changed if
you have a specific reason to do so�
11g-only Mode
802�11g-Only 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"�
11b-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�

Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which to choose� In the
United States, there are 11 channels� In the United Kingdom and most
of Europe, there are 13 channels� In a small number of other countries,
there are other channel requirements� Your Router is configured to
operate on the proper channels in which the country you reside� The
default is "Auto"� The channel can be changed if needed� If there are
other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should
be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless
networks� For best performance, use a channel that is at least five
channels away from the other wireless network� For instance, if another
network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6
or below� To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down
list� Click "Apply Changes"� The change is immediate�
