The Ethernet Adapter supports Dynamic and Static Turbo modes and boosts throughput up to 108 Mbps.

The Dynamic Turbo mode allows automatic switching between normal and turbo modes without modification by the user. The feature increases throughput when bandwidth demands are high. When bandwidth demands are low and at regular intervals, normal mode allows legacy connectivity and new associations. The Dynamic Turbo mode connection between the Ethernet Adapter and the access point may turn to normal mode connection if another station associates with the access point in normal mode.

The Static Turbo mode operates by using two radio channels and does not switch to normal mode. Static Turbo mode must be configured by the user on both the access point and the station.
