•11g Only Mode - 11g Only mode is compatible with 802.11g clients only. This mode can be useful only if you do not have any 802.11b clients that need access to the network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the drop-down box next to “Wireless Mode” then click “Apply Changes”.

•11b Only Mode - It is not recommended you use this mode unless you have a very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.

Note: Switching to 11b Only mode will decrease 802.11g performance to 11Mbps.

g Nitro

Enabling “g Nitro” allows the Router to use Frame Bursting to get the maximum throughput from the Router to 802.11g clients. g Nitro throughput is up to 50% faster than any standard 802.11g equipment. g Nitro will work with 802.11g clients that support g Nitro.

Encryption/Security

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called WPA (Wireless Protected Access). It also supports the legacy security standard called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you will need to determine which standard you want to use. To access the Security settings, click “Security” on the Wireless tab.

Setting WPA Security

Note: To use WPA security, your clients must be upgraded to drivers and software that support WPA. At the time this manual was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for free download. This patch works only with Windows XP. You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802.11g Wireless Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time. Only Belkin 802.11g clients support WPA at this time.
