WA840G

Field Description

Basic Rate Set

Allows you to set the transmission rate. The
access point broadcasts different transmission
rates so clients know which transmission rate to
use to join the network.

The options are:

1 to 2
Mbps

The slowest speed available.

Default

Ensures compatibility with
802.11b or 802.11g devices

All

Ensures compatibility with all
devices.

11g Protection
Mode

Ensures that your wireless access point does
not interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11g
networks cause collisions on 802.11b networks,
so the Protection Mode forces the 802.11g
network to negotiate around the 802.11b
network.

The options are:

Disable

802.11g Protection Mode is
never used.

Auto

802.11g Protection Mode is used
if either an 802.11b client joins
the network or the access point
detects an 802.11b network on
the same channel. Default
setting.

WDS Mode

Enables WDS mode, which allows you to share
and expand your network with other wireless
access points. The WDS fields, WDS Restrict
Mode and WDS Restrict MAC address become
active once WDS is enabled.

Set up the access point’s with the same
Wireless SSID and security settings.

When WDS mode is enabled, any access point,
if configured to your access point’s settings, can
connect to your network. The default is
disabled.
