It supports the following:

Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,

24, 12 and 6 Mbit/s.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 128bit

encryption algorithm. (Revision G, A/G combo type.)

Roaming over multiple channels

Card Power Management

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption

Wireless LAN disclaimer

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over

which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding

electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.

The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum

speed.

Security

1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WEP encryption

function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via

the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can

lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition,

the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing,

downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore,

an unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an

open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges.

2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the

use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur

thereof.

Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
