*Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11
specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed
and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors,
including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
*Use of MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM requires clients to also support those functions.
