11 Mbps Operation
4
In the Mobile Unit (MU) mode, the WLAN adapter
connects to an access point (AP) or another WLAN
installed system. MU mode allows the device to roam
freely between AP cells in the network. MUs appear as
network nodes to other devices.

The Intel
PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN adapter supports an
11 Mbps data rate. The adapter can default to a 5.5,
2 or 1 Mbps data rate when unable to establish an
11 Mbps association.
The following factors can dynamically alter the
data rate:
•
signal strength between the AP and the MU
•
the ratio of good transmitted packets to attempted
•
transmitted packets fall below a threshold
•
the MU finds a higher transmit rate with another AP
or it encounters an unspecified data rate.
