IEEE 802.11 Specifications

Data Rates

An 802.11a or 802.11b/g AP operates at faster data rates than the 802.11b AP. 802.11a and 802.11g products operate at speeds of up to 54 Mbits/sec; 802.11b products operate at speeds of up to 11 Mbits/sec.

Channels

•All Access Points in the same vicinity should use a unique, independent Channel. By default, the AP automatically scans for available Channels during boot-up but you can also set the Channel manually (see Interfaces for details).

•Access Points that use the same Channel should be installed as far away from each other as possible to reduce potential interference.

IEEE 802.11 Specifications

In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) adopted the 802.11 standard for wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This standard includes provisions for three radio technologies: direct sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopping spread spectrum, and infrared. Devices that comply with the 802.11 standard operate at a data rate of either 1 or 2 Megabits per second (Mbits/sec).
