with the Access Point

Channel

The default channel is 11. The 802.11b/g network is divided into 14 channels in Australia.

 

Each channel broadcasts on a slightly different frequency; if you are getting interference

 

from adjacent wireless networks, make a note of the channels that these are operating on

 

and change your channel accordingly. For best compatibility, only use channel 1 to 11 as

 

some wireless client does not work on channel 12 and 13.

 

 

Rate

Default rate is ‘Auto’ and operates at the 54 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to

 

lower rates when necessary, dependent on signal strength and the capacity of the client

 

stations.

 

 

Multicast Rate

Leave at default setting ‘Auto’ unless there is a specific requirement for multicast.

 

 

Basic Rate

Leave as default
