Wifi Slot - Asus A7V600 User Manual

1.10.4 Wi-Fi slot
The Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) slot will support the ASUS Wi-Fi module when
available. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for product updates.
The Wi-Fi slot conforms to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.11b standard for wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. This standard includes provisions for three radio technologies: direct
sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopping spread spectrum, and infrared.
Devices that comply with the 802.11b standard operate at data rates of up to 11
Mbps for direct sequence spread spectrum.
The IEEE 802.11b specification allocates the 2.4 GHz frequency band into 14
overlapping operating channels. Each Channel corresponds to a different set of
frequencies. If operating multiple 802.11b wireless PCI cards in the same vicinity,
the distance between the center frequencies must be at least 25 MHz to avoid
interference. The channels available to an 802.11b wireless PCI card will vary from
country to country. In the United States, the 802.11b standard allocates 11
operating channels for direct sequence devices. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are
independent and do not overlap with each other. To avoid interference between
802.11b wireless PCI cards, it is recommended that you configure the wireless PCI
cards using only channels 1, 6, and 11.
