802.11g
Wireless Ethernet Networking Guide
The 802.11g spec was
drafted in Nov of 2001. 802.11g operates on the same frequence
as 802.11b and is backwars compatible! The planned common
implementation of consumer 802.11g devices operate at a maximum of
22Mbps but can communicate at up to 54Mbps. 802.11g
is sometimes called 'Turbo Mode' on some 802.11b cards.
Like 802.11b, 802.11g is
subject to the same interference and security issues. It
operates at 2.4Ghz and may cause problems with 2.4Ghz cordless
telephones.
When a 802.11g product
communicates with an 11Mbps 802.11b product, it dropps down to
11Mbps or less depending on signal strength. In other words,
if you purchase an 802.11g product for use with an 802.11b access
point, expect only 11Mbps.
The 802.11g standard has
not been widely adopted because of the emergence of 802.11a - a
54Mbps wireless standard that is completely incompatible with
802.11b or g but has a greater overall throughput.
