Troubleshooting What's the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and Draft-N? Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on the designation for certifying network standards. The most common wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at 11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and Draft-N works at 270/300Mbps. Draft-N, the draft implementation to the upcoming 802.11n standard, promises speeds that exceed 802.11g, and up to twice the wireless coverage area. See the following chart for more detailed information. 40

Troubleshooting
What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and Draft-N?
Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds° Each is
based on the designation for certifying network standards° The
most common wireless networking standard, 802°11b, transmits
information at 11Mbps; 802°11a and 802°11g work at 54Mbps; and
Draft-N works at 270/300Mbps. Draft-N, the draft implementation
to the upcoming 802°11n standard, promises speeds that exceed
802°11g, and up to twice the wireless coverage area° See the
following chart for more detailed information°
