The Ethernet Adapter supports Dynamic and Static Turbo modes and
boosts throughput up to 108 Mbps.
The Dynamic Turbo mode allows automatic switching between normal and
turbo modes without modification by the user. The feature increases
throughput when bandwidth demands are high. When bandwidth demands
are low and at regular intervals, normal mode allows legacy connectivity and
new associations. The Dynamic Turbo mode connection between the
Ethernet Adapter and the access point may turn to normal mode connection
if another station associates with the access point in normal mode.
The Static Turbo mode operates by using two radio channels and does
not switch to normal mode. Static Turbo mode must be configured by the
user on both the access point and the station.
