Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11b, 802.11g
and draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic,
building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data
throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal
range. Wireless range and speed rates are D-Link RELATIVE performance
measurements based on the wireless range and speed rates of a standard
Wireless G product from D-Link. Maximum throughput based on D-Link draft
802.11n devices.
Computer must adhere to Microsoft’s recommended System Requirements.
This product is based on IEEE draft 802.11n specifications and is not
guaranteed to be forward compatible with future versions of IEEE 802.11n
specifications. Compatibility with draft 802.11n devices from other
manufacturers is not guaranteed. All references to speed and range are for
comparison purposes only. Product specifications, size and shape are subject
to change without notice, and actual product appearance may differ from that
depicted herein.
