Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) AP limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and AP condition. Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax), and features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM require APs to also support the corresponding features. Functionality of the adapter may be restricted on some operating systems and platforms. Please try to update the device's driver for feature compatibility. Use of WPA3 requires APs to also support the corresponding feature. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
