Maximum Performance derived from IEEE Standard
802
.
11
specifications.
Actual performance may vary, including lower wireless network capacity,
data throughput rate, speed, range and coverage. Performance depends
upon many factors, conditions and variables, including building materials
and construction, volume
of
network traffic, mix
of
wireless products used,
interference and other adverse conditions.
In
order
to
achieve the best
performance, this product must be used
with
compatible AC1200 wireless
devices. The standard transmission rates for each
node-867
Mbps {for 5
GHz radio),
300
Mbps {for
2.4
GHz)-are
the physical data rates. Actual
data throughput will be lower and may depend on the mix
of
wireless
products used and external factors.
Recommendations regarding products based
on
your Internet Plan
are provided
as
a guide only. Maximum speed may
vary
depending
on
the
service provided by your
Internet
service provider.
100/300
Mbps
represent
the
maximum throughput you can achieve
with
the Internet
Plan provided by your Internet service provider. Actual throughput will
be lower than
100/300
Mbps, as
this
throughput
is dependent
on
your
contract with
your
Internet service
provider.
May
require a software/firmware
update
available
for
download
at
linksys.com/support.
Each node in the wireless system provides a range
of
up
to
1,500
square
feet
or
the approximate size
of
a 1-2 Bedroom house
or
apartment. Range
can vary
with
the number and placement
of
nodes
In
the system. Range
specifications are based on performance
test
results under normal
use case conditions. Actual ranges will vary depending on wireless
interference, physical obstructions, operating environments and building
material. Wireless coverage claims are used only as reference and are not
guaranteed,
as
each
wireless
network
is
unique.
Coverage statements regarding house
or
apartment size are provided as a
guide only. Each node
in
the wireless system provides additional coverage.
Additional nodes (available
for
purchase separately) may be required
for
especially large houses/apartments
or
buildings
with
thick or dense walls.
Coverage
of
all homes cannot be guaranteed due
to
variations in size,
layout, building materials and the level
of
wireless interference present.
