54g Mode: Select the mode to 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select the mode to 54g
Performance for the fastest performance among 54g certified equipment. Set the mode to
54g LRS if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
Protection: In Auto mode the router will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under
most conditions.
Rate: The default setting is “Auto”. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data transmis-
sion should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from one
transmission speed, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have the router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate.
Basic Rateset: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support.
Note: If you want to pass the received packets to another network (for example: internet), you
must have an Ethernet network card (connect to internet) and build a bridge between the AP
and network card. Then, all end users connect to the AP can travel in the internet via this
bridge.
