The SpeedTouch™716g features a Wireless LAN Access Point (AP), that behaves as
a networking hub allowing to wirelessly interconnect several devices to the local
(W)LAN and provide - via the SpeedTouch™ DSL router - access to the public
network, for example the Internet.
IEEE802.11g Wireless technology enables these devices to communicate with each
other in a locally mobile fashion, without the need for a wired environment.
Only wireless client adapters at least compliant to IEEE802.11b, will be able to
communicate with the SpeedTouch™716g and other members of the
SpeedTouch™ (W)LAN environment.
Be aware that only IEEE802.11g compliant wireless clients are able to gain
full profit of the 54 Mbps (Max) bandwidth delivered by the
SpeedTouch™716g.
The IEEE802.11g standard for WLANs allows several WLAN networks using
different radio channels to be co-located. The SpeedTouch™716g supports multiple
radio channels and is able to select the best radio channel at each start-up.
The different channels are overlapping. To avoid interference with another
WLAN make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency, this is channel
number) is as high as possible. It's recommended to keep at least 3
channels between 2 different WLAN's. For example, if there is an access
point at channel 5 and an access point at channel 11, then the
SpeedTouch™716g will select channel 1.
The SpeedTouch™716g supports all channels allowed for wireless networking
according to your region's regulations.
However, depending on local regulations, the number of channels actually allowed
to be used may be additionally restricted. As shown in table below:
