Wireless g only in Dual Band mode?

Post by gavinr »

I've just set up gargoyle for the first time, on a WDR3600. (I've been using dd-wrt on other devices for a while, but wanted to try gargoyle as I am desperately in need of some good QoS :-) )

However one thing I need is to be able to set up the 2.4G wifi to be g only, not b/g. However from what I can tell "Dual band" mode seems to offer b/g only. Is there some way to change this?

Hi i am not shore how you would go about that, but why may i ask?
may be look at the file /etc/config/wireless you can use winscp to edit it if you need to.

Thanks for the info, I will give that a try.

The resaon for wanting this is that I have one wifi device which does not work well in a b/g environment. I'm unable to force it to be g only so the workaround has been to make the network g only, as I have no b devices at all.
