Network Connection Speed And Distance - LEGRAND Wireless access point Configuration Manual

3.1 / NETWORK SPEED AND DISTANCE
Range of access point
802.11g equipment is
compatible with 802.11b
equipment.
802.11g technology is limited
to 54 Mbit/s and 802.11b to
11 Mbit/s.
The further the physical
distance between the Access
point and the wireless-
equipped computer, the
slower the speed between
them (see figure 1).
Relationship between speed and
The speed of any wireless network is specified close to the
Access point. In reality this depends on the distance and
the obstacles between the Access point and the network
adapters of computers with wireless connections:
Your Legrand Access point supports both 802.11b and
802.11g technologies and can therefore offer speeds of up to
54 Mbit/s.
The speed of communication between 2 wireless devices
is limited by the lesser performing of the two. Therefore,
802.11b equipment connecting to your Legrand Access
point will only reach a speed of 11 Mbit/s. However 802.11g
equipment will be able to benefit from the maximum speed
54 Mbit/s connection.
