You can enable a Super G Mode to allow the router to communicate with other D-Link 108 G products at boosted
transmission rates.
Choosing Super G without Turbo allows you to have enhanced transfer speeds through use of Dynamic Packet Bursting,
Fast Frames and Hardware Encryption and Compression.
Choosing Super G with Dynamic Turbo allows the router to use two channels to double the data transfer rate in addition to
Dynamic Packet Bursting, Fast Frames and Hardware Encryption and Compression. However, all wireless clients must be
Turbo capable for this function to work. If a non-Turbo wireless client connects to the network, all devices on the wireless
network will transfer data at normal rates.
