Chapter 8 The Wi-Fi Configuration Screens Table 36 ADVANCED > Wi-Fi Configuration > Advanced (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION 802.11 Mode Select the Wi-Fi protocol to use while broadcasting. Apply Reset • 802.11b - This protocol is one of the older ones and is not nearly as robust as later versions (b, g, n). In many countries, it shares the same frequency range (2.4 GHz) as other devices, like cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, and microwave ovens, and so may be prone to interference from them. This protocol has an approximate maximum data throughput of: 11 Mbit/s (average is about 4.5 Mbit/ s in a typical networking environment). Select this mode if all your clients are using 'b' and if you have moderate to low bandwidth requirements. • 802.11g - This protocol is newer and marginally more robust than its predecessor. Like the 'b' protocol, it, too, tends to overlap frequencies with other kinds of devices (2.4 GHz) and is similarly prone to interference from them. However, differences in how it operates give it much higher bandwidth capabilities and ouptut power. This protocol has an approximate maximum data throughput of: 54 Mbit/s (average is about 19 Mbit/s in a typical networking environment.) Select this mode if your clients are using 'g' or a mix of 'g' and 'b' and if you have moderate to high bandwidth requirements. • 802.11b/g - This is a hybrid protocol that incorporates all the advantages of the individual protocols with few, if any, of their drawbacks. More importantly, it does not suffer from interference from other devices in its frequencey range. Select this method if you have clients who are using either 'b', 'g', or both.
