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.
