Wireless Testing Details
All tests were done using IXIA's Chariot 4.3, build 1699. Test direction is from AP to client, using TCP/IP protocol and 1,000,000 Byte file size, looped for one minute.
Wireless Client is a Fujitsu Lifebook P-2000 running Windows XP SP1 with 512 MB RAM and Intel Pentium M 900 Mhz
Ethernet Client is a Dell Inspiron 8600 running Windows XP SP1 with 512 MB RAM and Intel Pentium M 1.7 Mhz
Condition 1 : Same room
Distance between G-2000 and wireless client is under 10 feet.
Condition 2: Moderate distance
Wireless client moved approximately 40 feet away, transmitting through two sheet rock walls.
Condition 3: Worst case
Wireless client approximately 100 feet from AP, exterior to the structure containing the AP. The AP is shielded by a brick wall and earth, with the AP below the client.
