Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point A.5 FAQ Question Answer Question Answer Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network? This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network. Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network? Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network).
Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.
Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point WPA standard, required to repair WEP weakness, has only a part of 802.11i specifics. WPA2 introduce all IEEE802.11i specifics, like support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), encryption protocol use also in VPN IpSEC. WPA2 devices will be compatible with WPA device, but they will be updated through new driver and firmware. NetFly AP2-54M supports WPA2 without performance reduction.
Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point Answer Approved in June, 2003 as an IEEE standard for wireless local area networks (WLANs), 802.11g offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up to 54 megabits per second (Mbps) compared with the 11 megabits per second of the 802.11b (Wi-Fi) standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz range and is thus compatible with it.
Wireless MIMO Multi-Function Access Point Question Answer Question Does IEEE802.11b clients works properly with AP IEEE802.11g? It is possible to use IEEE802.11b clients with IEEE802.11g Access Point. Performance will be reducing to 11Mbps to guarantee full compatibility with IEEE802.11b. We suggest to upgrade WLAN to IEEE802.11g.
