Hi,

I use 802.11a for my "heavy" LAN traffic, 802.11g for media, and 802.11b for
anyone that wants to use it (open through a captive portal). My cordless
phones are all 900 Mhz...

As Al said, simply just turn the 802.11g/b radio off on your wireless router
or AP. Its that simple.

With DLink's, turning radios off option is usually under Advanced -->
Performance.
Couldn't tell you for other brands.

Manual/google?
