The bitrate of an IR optically based communication system with functionally similar to a WiFi connection is limited by multipath interference - the light propagating directly to the receiver takes less time than light scattering off a wall or ceiling. If the bit rate is on the same order of time as the difference in time of propagation there is interference and this limits the bit rate.
