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

Standards

Data Throughput
Standard Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput up
802.11a 5 GHz
802.11b 2.4 GHz
802.11g 2.4 GHz
802.11n 2.4 / 5 GHz
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 stan-
dard.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
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.

The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and
net transmission rates. The net speed describes the trans-
mission rate of the user data.
