What’s the difference between 802.11g and
draft 802.11n?
Currently there are three commonly used 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,
802.11g, can transmit information up to 54Mbps; 802.11a also
supports up to 54Mbps, but in the 5GHz frequency; and 802.11n
draft specification can connect at up to 300Mbps. See the chart
