Does the following still apply?
[quote="tony"]"- 802.11a mode - only 802.11a clients can connect?"
Correct, only 802.11a clients allowed
"- 802.11b mode - 802.11b and 802.11g clients can connect? but speed limited to max of 11Mbps?"
Correct. (though must be on channel 1 for 802.11b clients to associate in this release)
"- 802.11g mode - 802.11b and 802.11g clients can connect? but max speed is 54Mbps? (tho' from what I understand, if a single 802.11b client connects, everyone drops to 11Mbps?)"
Correct, though the note above for 802.11b clients apply.
No, all channels can now be used. Some users have been experiencing problems with come 802.11b clients associating if you lock the AP at 11Mbps. If you experience such problems, simply set to AP to use 'auto' for the transmit rate and you'll be Ok.
