802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with

the Device.

Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with

the Device.

Select 802.11n Only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with

the Device.

Select 802.11b/g Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN

devices to associate with the Device. The transmission rate of your Device might be

reduced.

Select 802.11b/g/n Mixed to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n

compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device. The transmission rate of your Device

might be reduced.

802.11

Protection

Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks (networks with

both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).

Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS handshake. This

helps improve IEEE 802.11g performance.

Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your Device might be

reduced in a mixed-mode network.

This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b

Only.

Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list box. Choices are Long or Short. See

Section 5.10.7 on page 95 for more information.

This field is configurable only when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b.

WPS 2.0 Select this to support WPS 2.0.

RX Chain Power

Save

Select Enable to activate the RX Chain Power Save feature. It turns off one of the Receive

chains to save power.

XPress

Technology

Select Enable for higher speeds, especially if you have both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE

802.11g wireless clients. The wireless clients do not have to support XPress™ Technology,

although the performance enhancement is greater if they do.

OBSS

Coexistence

Select Enable to allow coexistence between 20 MHz and 40 MHz Overlapping Basic Service

Sets (OBSS) in wireless local area networks.
