Wireless LAN

Radio Characteristics of Wireless LAN Cards may vary according to: 

■

Country/region where the product was purchased 

■

Type of product 

Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. 

Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed 

for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, local radio 

regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless 

communication equipment. 

The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the 

wireless communication device. Communications at a lower transmission 

rate may travel larger distances. 

■

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas 

are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. 

■

Range is also impacted due to “obstacles” in the path of the 

transmission that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.

■

Band 2.4GHz (2400~2497 MHz ) for
