products are designed to reduce the communication speed to ensure communication with IEEE 802.11b products. When the communication speed is not as fast as expected, changing the
wireless channel on the access point may increase the communication speed. *10 The communication speed varies depending on the distance between communication devices, existence of
obstacles between such devices, the device configuration, the radio conditions, and the software in use. In addition, communication may be cut off depending on the radio conditions.
