AVM and WLAN
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology that allows
networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable con-
nections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet con-
nection.
6.1 Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were de-
veloped by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engi-
neers (IEEE).
The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g
and IEEE 802.11n define the transmission rate within a
wireless LAN. The IEEE 802.11i standard is a security stan-
dard.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
Data Throughput The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4 supports the 802.11n
wireless standard and is downward compatible to
802.11b and g networks. The standard used in a given
WLAN depends on the settings of the WLAN access point.
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and
net transmission rates. The net speed describes the trans-
mission rate of the user data.
Standard Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput Net Data Throughput up
to
802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s
802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11n 2.4 GHz 150 Mbit/s 80 Mbit/s
