Can you change Preamble on MN-500?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Hi, I have an MN-500 base station and a D-Link "g"
adapter (backwards compatible) on my computer. The two
can talk to one another, but the connection is dropped
after about a minute. D-Link recommends changing the
router's Preamble to "Short," but I don't see that option
anywhere in the Broadband Network Utility or Base Station
Management Tool. Anyone know who to make that change?

Jason: Thank you. I did, as you suspected, have the
authentication checkbox checked.
