Chapter 4 Both 802.11g and 802.11b operate by radio transmission in the 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz) frequency band. 802.11g devices communicate at a maximum speed of 54 megabits per second (Mb/s). 802.11b devices communicate at a maximum speed of 11 Mb/s. For instructions to switch the printer between 802.11b and 802.11g, click here. 802.11a 802.11a is an emerging wireless networking technology that operates in the 5 GHz frequency band and offers communication speeds similar to those of 802.11g. The printer cannot communicate with 802.11a devices over a wireless connection. If you have an 802.11a wireless network, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network's Wireless Access Point (WAP) in order to achieve a processing speed comparable to that of the 802.11a network. If your wireless network supports 802.11g and 802.11b technology, another option is to switch the rest of the network to the lower frequency to use the printer wirelessly. To connect the printer to an Ethernet network, follow the Ethernet network installation instructions. Adapters and access points Adapters While some devices, such as the printer, have built-in Wi-Fi capability, other devices need an adapter to become Wi-Fi-enabled. Examples of common adapters include: PCMCIA card that plugs into the PCMCIA slot in a laptop ISA or PCI card that can be used with a desktop computer USB adapter that connects to the USB port on a desktop or laptop computer Other types of adapters are available. All adapters come with configuration software that allows you to configure the adapter for a wireless network. Access points Infrastructure networks are a common variety of wireless network. An infrastructure network requires the use of a Wireless Access Point (WAP). 20 HP Deskjet 6980 series
