Question

2.1 A friend is interested in installing a wireless LAN in her small business. She has about a dozen employees. You are setting up an 802.11g wireless access point for her business. Your aggregate throughput is only about 6 Mbps. List at least two possible reasons for this low throughput.

Answer 1

The two reasons for low throughput are as follows:

1-Low throughput is due to the fall of throughput is more with distance from the source.

2-The throughput is shared by multiple hosts and they are all using at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the aggregate throughput of the 802.11g wireless access point is same, thus when you go farther from it or the number of uses increases, the overall value of individual throughput decreases.
