The term auto fallback is sometimes used. a. used in wireless LAN technology. The data rate in the wireless LAN is automatically adapted to the signal strength via auto fallback : If the signal strength deteriorates, the data rate is reduced.

The respective gradations for the data rates are defined in the wireless LAN standards, such as B. in IEEE 802.11b . Typical gradations with 802.11b are 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit / s, with 802.11g 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit / s. If the signal strength falls below the necessary value to achieve 1 Mbit / s, no connection can be established.
