If the Wireless Gateway is the only AP on your LAN, it does not matter which channel you set the unit to use; properly configured 802.11b wireless stations will find the correct channel automatically.

Where there are multiple APs with overlapping coverage areas, channel assignment must be carefully planned. A good practice is to set the Wireless Gateway to use a channel five or more channels away from that of any other AP with a coverage area overlapping that of the Wireless Gateway. A common scheme is to use channels 1, 6, and 11, making sure that no two APs using the same channel have overlapping coverage areas.

Tx Bit Rate

The Tx (transmission) Bit Rate is the speed at which wireless stations and an AP communicate. The choices are 1 , 2 , 5.5 , and 11 Mbps (megabits per second), and Fully Automatic. The default setting is Fully Automatic. A setting of Fully Automatic allows stations and the AP to adjust their speed on the basis of signal strength and quality. A low, fixed setting might be used for maximum reliability or to discourage the use of high-bandwidth applications such as video and audio. A high, fixed setting will fasten the transmission speed and ensure that only stations very close to the AP will be able to communicate reliably with it.

Save/Cancel

After making sure all settings in the Wireless AP panel are correct, click Save to store the settings in the Wireless Gateway's non-volatile memory. You can, alternatively, click Cancel (or simply exit the panel) to restore all settings in the panel to the values last saved to or retrieved from the Wireless Gateway.
