Hi Wey,

I am not sure, but I believe it's running some mix of 802.11 b/g/n.

The Linux that runs on the Fritz!Box says:

ath0      IEEE 802.11ng  ESSID:"XXX"  Nickname:""
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:24:FE:41:8D:0E   
          Bit Rate:0 kb/s   Tx-Power:19 dBm   Sensitivity=0/3  
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXX-EBCB [2]   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=49/94  Signal level=-60 dBm  Noise level=-109 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:3  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

The web interface shows that the AP uses channels 1-7 and sends on channel 1.
I've attached a screenshot. Yellow bars indicate other WLANs and grey bars
are other interference.

Cheers,

	- Udo
