WLAN Standards

• Every WLAN base station participating in the WDS fulfills
the tasks of a WLAN access point for its WLAN clients.
This means that the WLAN clients see each WLAN base
station with an individual name (SSID) and individual
encryption settings.
If you use the WLAN control software provided in
Windows 7, Windows Vista or by the Windows XP Service
Pack 2 on your WLAN clients, you can assign the same
SSID and the same encryption settings to different WLAN
base stations. Each client can then automatically register
at the WLAN base station with the best availability.
• Each IP address may be assigned only once in the wire-
less network.
11.5 WLAN Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were devel-
oped by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE).
The IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11n standards define the throughput within a wire-
less radio network. IEEE 802.11i is a security standard.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
Data Throughput
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net
transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission
rate of the user data.
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n.
WLAN devices based on one or more of the standards listed
can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
