The FWG114Pv2 has more RF transmit output power and more receive sensitivity in 802.11g and 11b modes than earlier FWG114(v1). Note that this is a hardware change, and that no upgrade is available from non-FWG114Pv2 units.
These are typical values as tested in conducted mode on the antenna port (reverse SMA connector on the back). The antenna gain of 5 dBi increases the wireless performance in transmit and receive modes by 5dB. However, actual values for individual units will vary and there is no assurance of any such increase in wireless performance. For information on the many other factors that affect wireless performance, see Improving wireless range: Overview
- North America and Australia: RF Transmit Power is typically 23 dBm in 802.11b mode for 1 - 11 Mbps (5 dB improvement!).
- North America and Australia: RF Transmit Power is typically 20 dBm in 802.11g mode for 6 - 54 Mbps (3.5 - 4.5 dB improvement!).
- Europe: RF Transmit Power, including the 5 dBi antenna, is 20 dBm EIRP maximum (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) in all 11b/g rates (as per European regulations).
- Sensitivity in OFDM (Orthagonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 802.11g mode at 54 Mbps is typically -73 dBm. (2 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in OFDM 802.11g mode at 48 Mbps is typically -75 dBm (2 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in OFDM 802.11g mode at 36 Mbps is typically -80 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in OFDM 802.11g mode at 24 Mbps is typically -83 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in OFDM 802.11g mode at 12 Mbps is typically -90 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in OFDM 802.11g mode at 6 Mbps is typically -93 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in CCK (Complementary Code Keying) 802.11b mode at 11 Mbps is typically -89 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in CCK 802.11b mode at 5.5 Mbps is typically -90 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in DS-SS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) 802.11b mode at 2 Mbps is typically -93 dBm (1 dB improvement).
- Sensitivity in DS-SS 802.11b mode at 1 Mbps is typically -97 dBm (2 dB improvement).
