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).
