Moreover, the original antenna of WAP-4060PE can be replaced with other external an-
tennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to
use, and make sure it can be used on WAP-4060PE.
4. WLAN type
If WAP-4060PE is installed in an 802.11b and 802.11g mixed WLAN, its performance will
reduced significantly. Because every 802.11g OFDM packet needs to be preceded by an
RTS-CTS or CTS packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b devices.
This additional overhead lowers the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or
if connections to all 802.11b devices are denied so that WAP-4060PE can operate in
11g-only mode, then its data rate should actually 54Mbps and 108Mbps in Super G mode.
