Wireless LAN
Radio Characteristics
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 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 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 wire-
less communication. Communications at lower transmit range 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 signal path of the radio
that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
