*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 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), and features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, and Target Wake Time
requires clients to also support corresponding features.Actual power reduction by Target Wake
Time may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.
* The amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers
(PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer that enable at least one mode
of operation capable of supporting improvement of at least four times the average throughput
per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario.
* 1,000 Mbps internet speeds require compatible service plans and equipment.
* Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support WPA3.
* This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX
specification.

credential mechanism may cause the following problems:
• If the sharing password is also the same as the Windows password, authentication will not work since the Windows
will automatically use its account information for USB access.
• If the sharing password is different from the Windows password, the Windows will be unable to remember your
credentials and you will always be required to enter the sharing password for USB access.
