Wireless LAN—Getting Technical
A wireless LAN is based on standards defined by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). These standards
describe, for instance, the transmission rate, encryption
methods and frequencies used in a wireless network.
Throughput Rate
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. Wireless de-
vices based on one or more of the standards listed can be
used for wireless LAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
