If you have a mixed mode network,
with both 802.11b and 802.11g clients,
it’s recommended that you check
11g
protection
to ensure that slower 11b clients
don’t hog all available bandwidth.
Choosing
Auto
for
Wireless mode
lets both
802.11b and 802.11g clients connect to the
network.
If you would prefer to allow only
one or the other, you have those options as
well.
Two different framebursting modes are
available.
These can double throughput in
your network if all clients are configured
to use them.
125* High Speed Mode
is
an improved version of
Framebursting
and is highly recommended if your clients
support it.
If a framebursting mode is enabled and some of your clients don’t support it,
it simply won’t be used.
Reducing the
Output Power
below 100% will reduce the range of your router.

Buffalo recommends that you choose
the strongest form of encryption that’s
supported by all your client devices.
•
WEP
is a lot better than nothing, and
almost every wireless device ever made
supports it.
•
TKIP
is slower than WEP but much more
secure.
•
AES
is the most secure of all, and the
quickest as well.
Use it if you can.
Setting the key renewal period too short
can decrease network performance.
