2 More about WLAN
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology
that allows networks and access to the Internet to be provid-
ed without cable connections. This allows multiple users to
share one wireless Internet connection.

Standards

The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were devel-
oped by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE).
The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11n define the transmission rate within a wireless
LAN. The IEEE 802.11i standard is a security standard.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
Data Throughput
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n.
WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards listed
can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
Standard Frequency Band
802.11a 5 GHz
802.11b 2.4 GHz
802.11g 2.4 GHz
802.11n 2.4 / 5 GHz
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net
transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission
rate of the user data.
Gross Data Throughput up
to
54 Mbit/s
11 Mbit/s
54 Mbit/s
300 Mbit/s
107
Net Data Throughput up to
25 Mbit/s
5 Mbit/s
25 Mbit/s
100 Mbit/s
