• b/g Protection – Enables a backward 

compatible protection system for 
802.11b clients. There are three modes. 
(Default: Auto): 
- Auto: The wireless AP/Router enables 

its protection mechanism for 802.11b clients when they are detected in the 
network. When 802.11b clients are not detected, the protection mechanism is 
disabled.

- Always On: Forces the unit to always use protection for 802.11b clients, 

whether they are detected in the network or not.

- Always Off: Forces the unit to never use protection for 802.11b clients. This 

prevents 802.11b clients from connecting to the network.

Note: Enabling “Always On” b/g Protection can slow throughput for 802.11g/n clients by 

as much as 50%. 

• HT Operation Mode – Packets from 

802.11n clients are referred to as High 
Throughput (HT) Greenfield packets, in other 
words packets that can be transmitted at 
rates of up to 300 Mbps assuming that HT 
Channel Bandwidth is set to 20/40Mhz, see HT Channel Bandwidth next page.
