Description: 802.11g is a wireless networking standard for LANs (local area networks)
that delivers a maximum raw data rate of 54 megabits per second. It
operates in the 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) band, and has a typical actual data
throughput rate of 20-25 megabits per second. Facts: Hardware built for the 802.11g standard is usually fully backwards
compatible with hardware that uses the 802.11b standard. Therefore, devices
built for 802.11g can most often communicate (at the slower data rate) with
devices built for 802.11b. However, any device using 802.11b in an
otherwise 802.11g network will slow down the speed of the overall network. |
