I've seen this option in the Airport menuling, just wondering what it does and if I should be using it or not. Thanks.

    Pros:

    better signal when used with other 2.4-2.5 GHz devices in proximity (microwaves, cordless phones, etc.)



    Cons:

    slower throughput

    decreased range



    Only use it if your microwave or whatever is causing your AirPort signal to drop-out.
