It supports the following:
■
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,
48, 36, 24, 18, 9, 6 Mbps for 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g wireless LAN
module.
■
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256bit
encryption algorithm.

11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has not
been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/g/n
Wireless LAN Adapters are based on the Draft Release, Version 1.0, of the
IEEE 802.11n specification. An Adapter with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or 11a/b/g/n
can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual connection
will be based on the access point to which it connects.
Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in Draft 11n mode is
not guaranteed.
The Draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. Draft 11n mode can
be used only with WPA-PSK (AES) mode or no security mode.
Network
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network
name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network(*)
will have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network
in order to re-enable network connections.
* Please be sure to use new network name.
