What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and

draft 802.11n?

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 802.11n
works at 108Mbps. See the chart on the next page for more detailed
information.
