Choose IEEE 802.11 mode

Hello everyone,

I am using the router for academic research,and I need it to use only 802.11b mode. How can I configure the router to do that?

    Hi Israel-ARP,

     

    Channel can be changed under the wireless settings. NETGEAR firmwares don't have options to select 802.11B.

        Hi Israel-ARP,

        This is not possible with the firmware of this router. As what I have mentioned, the lowest mode you can configure the router is the 802.11G.
