AVM and WLAN
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology
that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to
be provided without cable connections. This allows multi-
ple users to share one wireless Internet connection.

Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (on the basis of the prelimi-
nary draft 2.0 of the standard) and IEEE 802.11i were devel-
oped by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(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 list-
ed 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 transmis-
sion rate of the user data.
