How fast is WLAN?
The data is transferred at a top rate of 54 Mbit/s which is about as fast as a conventional wired ethernet connection. However, as you move further away from an access point the signal gets weaker and the data is sent at a lower rate. So you may find that the data rate drops back to 2 or even 1 Mbit/s. This is still at least twenty times faster than a fast modem.
