You might find the answer to that on the Slim Devices forums.
They are very helpful with queries.

Well, I'm gonna be a man and 'fess up. After much digging and bothering about, I discovered that my 2Wire "Home portal" has wireless G capability! Who'd a thunk it? I had no idea. The unit came with NO manual of any kind. It was just shipped to me in a big box when I signed up for SBC-Yahoo dsl. It had no visible antennae.
