Field | Description |
|
|
|
11g Protection | Ensures that your wireless router does not interfere with neighbor |
| ||
Mode | 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 AP 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 (AP). The WDS fields, WDS |
| ||
| Restrict Mode and WDS Restrict MAC address, become active once |
| ||
| WDS is enabled. |
| ||
| When WDS Mode is enabled, any AP configured to your router’s |
| ||
| settings can connect to your network. The default is disabled. |
| ||
WDS Restrict | Protects your network by assigning access to only the access points |
| ||
Mode | you designate. Assign the access points’ MAC addresses in the WDS |
| ||
| Restrict MAC Addresses fields. |
| ||
| The default is enabled. |
| ||
WDS Restrict | To activate these fields, WDS Restrict Mode must be enabled. |
| ||
MAC Addresses | Enter up to four wireless MAC addresses |
