54g™ Mode

Sets these network modes:

 

 

54g Auto

 

 

54g Performance

 

 

54g LRS

 

 

802.11b only

 

 

54g Auto accepts 54g, 802.11g, and 802.11b clients, but

 

 

optimizes performance based on the type of connected

 

 

clients. 54g Performance accepts only 54g clients and

 

 

provides the highest performance throughout; nearby 802.11b

 

 

networks may have degraded performance. 54g LRS

 

 

interoperates with the widest variety of 54g, 802.11g, and

 

 

802.11b clients. 80211b. accepts only 802.11b clients.

802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g + 802.11b networks.

 

 

Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under

 

 

most conditions.

 

 

 

 

XPress™ Technology

This is a performance-enhancing Wi-Fi technology designed

 

 

for increasing throughput and efficiency. It is used when there
