8.2 Wireless Setup – Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings page is used to set up the router’s advanced wireless functions. These
settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator since incorrect settings can reduce
wireless performance. For changes to take effect, you must click the Apply button.
Wireless Network Settings:
Wireless Mode – Sets the wireless mode. Options are: B/G mixed, B only, G only, N only, and
B/G/N mixed. Select the proper mode to support all of the wireless devices that will connect to
your router. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mb/s. 802.11g supports bandwidth up to 54
Mb/s. 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 300 Mb/s.
BG Protection – Sets the BG protection mode. Options are ON, OFF, or AUTO. Default is AUTO.
BG protection allows you to operate 802.11b client devices in 802.11g networks. Set to ON to
allow 802.11b client devices to operate in the 802.11g wireless network. This will impact the
performance of the 802.11g client devices on the network. If your network consists of ONLY
802.11g client devices, set this to OFF for maximum performance
