Operational Mode

An 802.11b/g wireless interface can be 
configured to operate in the following modes:

•  802.11b mode only: The radio uses the 

802.11b standard only.

•  802.11g mode only: The radio is 

optimized to communicate with 802.11g 
devices. This setting will provide the 
best results if this radio interface will 
only communicate with 802.11g 
devices. 

•  802.11bg mode: This is the default 

mode. Use this mode if you want to 
support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g 
devices.

•  802.11g-wifi: This mode was developed 

for Wi-Fi compliance testing purposes. It 
is similar to 802.11g only mode.

In general, you should use either 802.11g 
only mode (if you want to support 802.11g 
devices only) or 802.11bg mode to support a 
mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
