ABSTRACT Long-distance WiFi networks are increasingly used to provide Internet connectivity in developing countries. In this region, providing support for applications in real time is considered an important requirement. This document studies its 802.11n standard performance in WiFi links for long distances, using TDMA (time division multiple access) as a method of census to the environment. For this, Network Simulator (ns-3) was used in scenarios where the modulation and coding system (MCS) and distance were configured. The experimental results of (Throughput, latency, jitter and losses) show that the greater the distance, the performance of the data transmission rate decreases, likewise the latency, jitter and lost packets increase, these results are directly proportional to the distance of the link.
