Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and reflected signals, indoor

range is usually shorter than outdoor range.

F3: How does the data transmission rate work?

IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter allows you to choose one of the six data rate options: Fixed

1Mbps, Fixed 2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed 11 Mbps, Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and Fully Auto.

The farther the distance between two communicating devices, the slower the data rate should be

used. Basically, with slower data rate, the data delivery will be more reliable. If you don't know

which data rate should be used, simply choose "Fully Auto", and the data rate will

automatically step down from 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps if you move farther your

Pocket PC away from the Access Point or other connected mobile device.
