802.11g Menu Option

This screen is used to configure the 2.4GHz band 802.11b/g radio interfaces. Many of the settings are have the same function as the previous 802.11a configuration screens on pages 22 onwards. Some new values are present and these are detailed below.

Channel

The default channel for the 2.4GHz 802.11b/g band is 6. There are only 3 non-overlapping channels on this band (1, 6 and 11) which means that channel selection is more critical than on the 5GHz 802.11a band.

Short Preamble

This mode is selected when the access point is to be used in very high network traffic environments. Note that the preamble value must be the same on all clients and the access point, otherwise devices will not be able to connect. The default is Disabled.
