Because 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN equipment complies with IEEE 802.11

standards, it can interoperate with third-party equipment that also complies with

the standards. However, some third party equipment may not support 3Com

enhanced performance features. You may need to turn off the Network Trafﬁc

Accelerator and Data Preamble transmission properties to support this equipment

on the network.
