Disclaimers and Legal Information
• Based on
the
maximum speed
that
data
{Phy rate) can move across a
wireless link while alternating between
the
two
5GHz
radios ,n each node.
Each node has three Wi-Fi radios - one
2.4Ghz
Wi-Fi radio and
two
5 GHz
Wi-Fi radios. Each 5 Ghz radio has throughput
of
B67
Mbps. Nodes will
alternate between the
two
5 GHz radios
for
each separate connection,
providing
100%
seamless Wi-Fi
to
your
network

Maximum Performance derived from IEEE Standard B02.11 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
AC2200
wireless
devices. The standard transmission
rates
for
each
node-867
Mbps
{for
each 5 GHz radio),
400
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
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
2,000
square
feet. 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
obstructions, operating environments and building material Wireless
coverage claims are used only
as
reference and are
not
guaranteed, as each
wireless
network
is
unique.
