Choose IEEE 802.11 mode

[Israel-ARP]

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,

The lowest mode that the router can be configured is 802.11G byt setting the mode to upto 54mbps.

Ok... But I need more than that. 

I want to configure its mode to 802.11b. And i just can't find a way

to do that... is that possible at this router?

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.

So can i change the firmware? Which firmware will give me this ability?

I need also the ability to change the channel...
