Maximum Distance Tables

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

1. Outdoor Environment: A line-of-sight environment with no interference or obstruction between the access
point and clients.
2. Indoor Environment: A typical office or home environment with floor to ceiling obstructions between the access
point and clients.
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.
