4.2.3 Wireless Mode
Select the wireless mode from the drop-down list. You can choose 802.11b, 802.11g,
802.11g Super,
802.11b/g Mixed, 802.11a or 802.11a Turbo
` 802.11b:
The 802.11b will accommodate legacy
system and support 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps data
rate.
` 802.11g:
The 802.11g support data rates up to 54Mbps (6,
9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54Mbps) at
2.4GHz frequency band by using the
802.11a OFDM techniques. This mode
limits use to those WLANs that have
only 802.11g clients. If you make sure
all of WLAN devices are 802.11g clients,
then you can chooses 802.11g mode to gain a
higher performance.
` 802.11b/g Mixed
The 802.11b/g Mixed allows you to use both 802.11b and 802.11g clients. At
this mode, all transmissions will be at the highest data rates available if the environment is with only
802.11g devices. However, if an 802.11b device links to this network, the header information needs
to back down to
802.11b rates for all of 802.11g and 802.11b devices. It will little slow down the network throughput.
`
802.11g Super
The 802.11g Super mode can support data rate up to 108Mbps (72, 96, 108 Mbps). Although you can
gain a highest data rate, you need to use this function carefully because it occupies large bandwidth
and may corrupt the adjacent channels’ radio signal.
!
Note: Super G’s channel bonding feature can significantly degrade the performance of neighboring
2.4GHz WLANs. Moreover, Super G doesn’t check to see if 11b or 11g standard-
compliant devices are in range before using its non-standard techniques.
` 802.11a
The 802.11a mode can support data rate up to 54Mbps (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54Mbps) at 5GHz
frequency band. The use of 5-GHz frequency band provides some distinct advantages
over the
2.4GHz band. In addition to providing a greater amount of bandwidth and non-overlapping channels for
transmission, the 5-GHz band has less potential interference because lots of wireless device working
in the 2.4GHz band (Bluetooth, cordless telephone, microwave ovens, and so on)
`
802.11a Turbo
The 802.11a Turbo mode can support data rate up to 108Mbps (72, 96, 108 Mbps).
