It is hardware issue so you can not change it but do not wory about. 802.11b will be enough. You will not understand the difference.

Boss ... Although My work place have Wifi build in ... but i cant access it ... The network they are using is 802.11 B/G .... so was wondering if it's possible to to change my Atom's 802.11B to G ... then thing about my work place is ... i cant even find the network using my Atom ... >.<

Maybe your workplace's Wi-Fi Access Point is set to 802.11G mode only? You can ask the network administrator who set up the access point to check it up, if it's set to auto b + g mode, then your atom will be able to connect, no doubt.. :D

i cant change which network they wanna set ... so i can only change my phone to 802.11G if possible ... that's the problem =D

Hey Cupid,

Add these two key into your registry and then soft-reset :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8

Tried that on Ipaq rw6828 and I can connect to my wireless router set to Wifi G (WPA protected).

hi eastmushu,

I have tried the method u suggested, but it doesn't seems to work on my 6828. Can you verify your findings again? thanks

Hi Kush,

What I did or rather what I found out was you have to perfrom two soft resets before it will work... Don't know why but have noticed it on two different 6828s...

After that was able to log into Pocket Messenger and IE...

Some Problems I have with this 'hack' are

1 - if the hardware is 802.11b only it will NEVER do G no matter what, software
cant change it.

Doing some research it looks like the value
dot11SupportedRateMask
defines the Desired Supported Rate Set
with the possible values of
"0",,"1,2 Mbps"
"1",,"1,2,5.5,11 Mbps"
"2",,"1,2,5.5,11,22 Mbps"
"3",,"Up to 18Mbps"
"4",,"Up to 24Mbps"
"5",,"Up to 36Mbps"
"6",,"Up to 48Mbps"
"7",,"Up to 54Mbps"
"8",,"All"

So I assume
dot11SupportedRateMask=1 is setting B speeds to 11mpbs
and
dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8 is saying 802.11G can do all speeds.

None of this however says anything about activating 802.11g on B devices.
Perhaps simply defining the parameters for G speeds enables G hardware to use
it.. perhaps not..

The second issue with the Atom is the Hardware
The registry settings for my atom's wireless chip are
HKLM\Comm\CF8381PN1
Not TNETWLN1 so for a start any atom users would need to modify key values
relative to their own hardware.
For what it is worth I will try this and post back..

And the results are in.. Did not work, made no difference at all.
Can not connect to a 'G' only network (can see it as available.. can't connect)..
Can connect to a mixed mode network with these keys but performance
was unchanged in otherwords it really did nothing.

U can change into wifii 802...../G by using SK tools/tune up/. I already changed it......
