At least I think I heard somewhere there is a (g)... I see (a) is 54 while (b) is only 11...but doesn't (b) cover a farther range? |
b = 11Mbps, 2.4GHz
a = 54Mbps, 5GHz, similar range to b, but incompatible.
g = 54Mbps, 2.4GHz, shorter range than b, but compatible.
Theres also a c,d,h,i and a whole host of others.
