Table D-4through Table D‐6 list the wireless distances.

Note: Maximum distances posted below are actual tested distance thresholds. However, there are many variables such as barrier composition and construction and local environmental interference that may impact your actual distances and cause you to experience distance thresholds far lower than those posted in the following tables.
