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 80211b and 80211g wireless
clients simultaneously This is the factory default mode and ensures
successful operation with all devices compatible with Wi-Fi
a mix of 80211b and 80211g 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
80211g-Only mode works with 80211g clients only This mode
is recommended only if you want to prevent 80211b 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 80211b client adapters and is NOT
necessary for interoperability of 80211g and 80211b 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
