There are no commands specifically to set 802.11g mode or 802.11a mode. To set a
sector to 802.11g mode, the wif maxrate is set to an 802.11g data rate (6, 9, 12, 18,
24, 36, 48 or 54)
with the wif channel set to a 2.4GHz channel (1 – 11). To set
802.11a mode, the wif channel must be set to a standard 802.11a channel (36, 40,
44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157 or 161). An attempt to set an illegal
combination, i.e., 802.11a maxrate with 802.11b channel, will result in an error
message.
