Non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g Clients Might Require Firmware Upgrade
Some non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g client devices require a firmware upgrade before they can associate to
the 802.11g radio in the access point/bridge when it is configured as an access point or workgroup
bridge. If your non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g client device does not associate to the access point/bridge,

Throughput Option for 802.11g Radio Blocks Association by 802.11b Clients
When you configure the 802.11g 1300 series radio for best throughput, the access point/bridge sets all
data rates to basic (required). This setting blocks association from 802.11b client devices. The best
throughput option appears on the web-browser interface Radio0-802.11G Settings pages and in the
speed CLI configuration interface command.
