Wireless LAN User’s Guide
Specifications

* “Wi-Fi based” indicates that the interconnectivity test of the organization which guarantees the interconnectivity of

wireless LAN (Wi-Fi Alliance) has been passed.

** The communication ranges shown above will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls,

reflective material, or interference from external RF sources.

*** Encryption with network key (WEP) is performed using the above number of bits, however, users can set 40 bits/

104 bits after subtracting the fixed length of 24 bits.

**** Depending on practical environments, the allowable number of computers to be connected may be decreased.

Item Specification
Type of network The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connections WLAN
