Wireless (Cont.)

Channel

The 802.11g and 802.11b specifications supports up to 14 overlapping
channels for radio communication. To minimize interference, configure
each ASUS 802.11g AP to be non-overlapping; select Auto from the Channel
drop-down list to enable the system to select a clear channel during boot up
as your operating channel.

Ensure that ASUS Wireless Routers sharing the same channel (or channels
which are close in number) are as far away from each other as possible,
based on the results of your site survey of the facility. There is a site survey
utility on the ASUS Wireless Router setup CD.

Wireless Mode (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe Only)

This field indicates the 802.11g interface mode. Selecting “Auto” allows
802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to the ASUS Wireless Router.
Selecting “54g Only” maximizes performance, but prevents 802.11b clients
from connecting to the ASUS Wireless Router. If “54g Protection” is
checked, G-Mode protection of 11g traffic is enabled automatically in the
presence of 11b traffic.
