Maximum performance derived from IEEE Standard 802 11
specifications Actual performance can vary, including lower
wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and
coverage Performance depends on many factors, conditions and
variables, including distance from the access point, volume of
network traffic, building materials and construction, operating
system used, mix of wireless products used, interference and other
adverse conditions
