is immediate. Each computer now must be set to connect to your
specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to

Protected Mode
As part of the 802.11g specification, Protected mode will ensure
proper operation of 802.11g clients and access points when there is
heavy 802.11b traffic in the operating environment. When Protected
mode is ON, 802.11g will scan for other wireless network traffic
before it transmits data. This method of “waiting” helps when there
is very heavy traffic, but adds unnecessary delays when there is no
heavy traffic.
If you are in an environment where there is no other (or very little)
wireless network traffic, best performance is achieved with Protected
mode OFF. If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY
802.11b traffic or interference, best performance may be achieved
with Protected mode ON.
