Are you upgrading to 11 Mb/s PC Cards? 1
Transmissions at higher data rates, may not travel as far as
communications at Standard or Low Tranmit rate.
When you consider upgrading your wireless network to WaveLAN/
IEEE Turbo 11 Mb PC Cards, you may need to perform a site
survey again to verify that the entire coverage area allows for data
transmissions at the highest transmit rates.
You can use the WaveMANAGER/CLIENT IEEE tool described in
Chapter 5 of this Quick Installation Guide to perform such a site
survey.
