Introduction

Wireless client requirements

The SpeedTouch™ Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless access point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can coexist in the same wireless network.

The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network.

To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter (WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.

All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b can communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™ (W)LAN environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the SpeedTouch™.

It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™ certified to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.
