Depending on the model of your Intel WiFi adapter, your adapter is compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and
802.11n (draft 2.0) wireless standards. Operating at 5GHz or 2.4GHz frequency at data rates of up to 450 Mbps,
you can now connect your computer to existing high-speed networks that use multiple access points within large or
small environments. Your WiFi adapter maintains automatic data rate control according to the access point location
and signal strength to achieve the fastest possible connection. All of your wireless network connections are easily
managed by the WiFi connection utility. Profiles that are set up through the WiFi connection utility provide enhanced
security measures with 802.1X network authentication.
