WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology that allows
Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without ca-
ble connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Inter-
net connection.
2.1 Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (on the basis of the pre-
liminary draft 2.0 of the standard) and IEEE 802.11i were
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic En-
gineers (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!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11n. WLAN adapters based on one or more of
the standards listed can be used for WLAN connections
with the FRITZ!Box.
The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
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 up to Net Data Throughput up to
802.11a 5GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
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 / 5 GHz 300 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s
