In the 2.4 GHz band, there are two different wireless standards: The IEEE 802.11b standard with a transmission speed of up to 11 Mbps and the IEEE 802.11g standard offering up to 54 Mbps. If 2.4 GHz is selected as the operating frequency, the transmission speed can be selected in addition.
The 802.11g/b compatibility mode offers the highest possible speeds and yet also offers the 802.11b standard so that slower clients are not excluded. In this mode, the WLAN card in the access point principally works with the faster standard and falls back on the slower mode should a client of this type log into the WLAN. In the "2Mbit compatible" mode, the access point supports older 802.11b cards with a maximum transmission speed of 2 Mbps.
Note: Please observe that clients supporting only the slower standards may not be able to register with the WLAN if the speeds set here are higher.
