CHAPTER 5: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Figure 32 Radio Settings B/G

Client Access Mode – Selects the operating mode for the 802.11g wireless interface. (Default: 802.11b+g)

„802.11b+g: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).

„802.11b only: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps).

„802.11g only: Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).

Turbo Mode – The normal 802.11g wireless operation mode provides connections up to 54 Mbps. Turbo Mode is an enhanced proprietary mode (Atheros 802.11g Turbo) that provides a higher data rate of up to 108 Mbps. Enabling Turbo mode allows the access point to provide connections up to 108 Mbps to Atheros-compatible clients.

NOTE: In normal mode, the access point supports the maximum number of channels permitted by local regulations (e.g., 11 channels for the United States). In Turbo mode, channel bonding is used to provide the increased data rate. However, this reduces the number of channels available to one (Channel 6).
