Hi All
We have a wireless network of Symbol WS5100's and AP300's running primarily 802.11g. We was told by TA from Symbol that if we use 802.11b on the network it will pull the whole network down to 802.11b speed. I know there is a little more overhead in the protocol to run a "b" on a "g" but cannot find any info to support that theory. We have even done a test with 2 devices side by side one "b" the other "g" on the same AP the "g" still showed 48Mbps.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
