Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate)
The TEW-691GR provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most networking
scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This setting allows your
TEW-691GR to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops
below a certain level, the TEW-691GR automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate.
Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable. However, when the communication quality
improves again, the TEW-691GR gradually increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the
highest available transmission rate.

2.1 Introduction

The TEW-691GR 2.4GHz 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router is an high-performance, wireless router that
supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most routers, the TEW-691GR provides data transfers at up to 450Mbps when using 11n connection.
This router is also back compatible with 802.11g or 11b devices. This means that you do not need to
change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 11n's speed when you mix
11n and 11b/g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 11n
standard into your 11b/g network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing
the 11b/g devices with 11n devices.
