Operating Modes

The GN-WP01GT PCI Adapter can operate in three modes:

•802.11b (11b) – 2.4GHz 11Mbs. This radio has a range of about 50 meters and a maximum throughput of 11 Mbit/s. Although it’s slower than 11g, it’s still the most commonly used network today.

•802.11g (11g) – 2.4GHz 54Mbps. In June 2003, a third standard for Wi-Fi was ratified: 802.11g. This version works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at 54 Mbit/s raw, throughput like 802.11a. It is fully backwards compatible with 11b and uses the same frequencies.

•Super G - The Super G is a set of technologies was invented by the Atheros Company to double the throughput of the 54Mbps promised by the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. To use Super G, not only your PCI Adapter but your wireless Router or AP must also support the Atheros Super G functionality.

These and other advanced configuration options are explained further in Chapter 3 - Configuring the WP01GT.
