The options are: - Auto (11g/11b): Both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations can be used (default setting). - 11g Only: Only 802.11g wireless stations can be used. - 11b Only: All 802.11b wireless stations can be used. 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode. 5.
