About the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN Adapter 2.1 2.2 MU Mode In the Mobile Unit (MU) mode, the WLAN adapter connects to an access point (AP) or another WLAN installed system. MU mode allows the device to roam freely between AP cells in the network. MUs appear as network nodes to other devices. 11 Mbps Operation The Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN adapter supports an 11 Mbps data rate. The adapter can default to a 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps data rate when unable to establish an 11 Mbps association. The following factors can dynamically alter the data rate: • signal strength between the AP and the MU • the ratio of good transmitted packets to attempted • transmitted packets fall below a threshold • the MU finds a higher transmit rate with another AP or it encounters an unspecified data rate. 4 Wireless LAN Adapter Product Reference Guide

2.1
MU Mode
In the
Mobile Unit (MU)
mode, the WLAN adapter
connects to an access point (AP) or another WLAN
installed system. MU mode allows the device to roam
freely between AP cells in the network. MUs appear as
network nodes to other devices.
2.2
11 Mbps Operation
The Intel
®
PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN adapter supports an
11 Mbps data rate. The adapter can default to a 5.5,
2 or 1 Mbps data rate when unable to establish an
11 Mbps association.
The following factors can dynamically alter the
data rate:
•
signal strength between the AP and the MU
•
the ratio of good transmitted packets to attempted
•
transmitted packets fall below a threshold
•
the MU finds a higher transmit rate with another AP
or it encounters an unspecified data rate.
