Hello everyone, I am looking for someone who knows a bit about how wireless works. Got 2 questions:

How are radio waves translated into data packets when a radio signal is bridged to the wired network?

and a difficult one,

What limits the theoretical throughput in a wireless network? what limits 802.11b radios from transmitting at more than 11Mbps and 802.11g radios from transmitting at more than 108 Mbps? Is it something physical on the equipment or programmable on the firmware?

Sure hope someone can answer me, if not educated guesses are welcome...

Jose
