Wireless communications

The computer's wireless communication function supports wireless LAN
devices depending on the model you purchased.
Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems that comply with
the IEEE 802.11a+g, 802.11g, and 802.11b wireless LAN standards.
It supports the following:
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,
11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s. (54 Mbps is available only with 802.11a or
802.11g.)
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 128bit
encryption algorithm. (Revision G, A/G combo type.)
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
Frequency Channel Selection (5GHz and 2.4 GHz)
Roaming over multiple channels
Card Power Management
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption. Wake-up on LAN does
not function on a wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN disclaimer
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The
actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum
speed.
To use the Atheros SuperAG
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of these
functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
Security
1. Be sure to enable WEP(encryption) function. Otherwise you computer
will allow the illegal access by outside through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP
function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
