Limitations

One IEEE 802.11 WAP can about acquaint with 30 applicant systems amid aural a ambit of 103 m.citation needed However, the absolute ambit of advice can alter significantly, depending on such variables as calm or alfresco placement, acme aloft ground, adjoining obstructions, added cyberbanking accessories that ability actively baffle with the arresting by broadcasting on the aforementioned frequency, blazon of antenna, the accepted weather, operating radio frequency, and the ability achievement of devices. Network designers can extend the ambit of WAPs through the use of repeaters and reflectors, which can animation or amplify radio signals that commonly would go un-received. In beginning conditions, wireless networking has operated over distances of several hundred kilometers.1

Most jurisdictions accept alone a bound cardinal of frequencies accurately accessible for use by wireless networks. Usually, adjoining WAPs will use altered frequencies (Channels) to acquaint with their audience in adjustment to abstain arrest amid the two adjoining systems. Wireless accessories can "listen" for abstracts cartage on added frequencies, and can rapidly about-face from one abundance to addition to accomplish more good reception. However, the bound cardinal of frequencies becomes ambiguous in awash city areas with alpine barrio application assorted WAPs. In such an environment, arresting overlap becomes an affair causing interference, which after-effects in arresting droppage and abstracts errors.

Wireless networking lags abaft active networking in agreement of accretion bandwidth and throughput. While (as of 2010) archetypal wireless accessories for the customer bazaar can ability speeds of 300 Mbit/s (megabits per second) (IEEE 802.11n) or 54 Mbit/s (IEEE 802.11g), active accouterments of agnate amount alcove 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet). One impediment to accretion the acceleration of wireless communications comes from Wi-Fi's use of a aggregate communications medium, so a WAP is alone able to use somewhat beneath than bisected the absolute over-the-air amount for abstracts throughput. Thus a archetypal 54 MBit/s wireless affiliation absolutely carries TCP/IP abstracts at 20 to 25 Mbit/s. Users of bequest active networks apprehend faster speeds, and bodies application wireless access actively appetite to see the wireless networks bolt up.

By 2008 abstract 802.11n based acce
