* Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specications. Range and coverage specications are based on test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate 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 trac, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality,
and client condition.
*Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support MU-MIMO.
