TRENDnet User's Guide you have older 802.11g wireless clients, they will no longer be able to connect to this router. o G only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11g technology (typically not recommended). o B only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11b technology (typically not recommended). Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (B/G/N mixed) for the best compatibility. When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following: o Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can connect wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b. o Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates. o Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher performance and data rates of 802.11n. o Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode. o Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11g only mode.  Wireless Channel: In North America, this router can broadcast on 1 of 11 Channels (13 in Europe and other countries).
