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 802.11(x), so named by the IEEE, the board that is

responsible for certifying networking 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 up

to 300Mbps . Draft-N, the precursor to the upcoming 802 .11n release,

promises speeds that exceed 802 .11g, and up to twice the wireless

coverage area . See the following chart for more detailed information .
