Wireless Standards

Question 1

802.11a

Answer 1

5 GHz band
54 mbps

Question 2

802.11b

Answer 2

2.4 GHz (better range than 5GHz, but slower speeds)

11 mbps

Question 3

802.11g

Answer 3

2.4 GHz

54 mbps

“g” better than “b” - same frequency, better throughput

Question 4

802.11n

Answer 4

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

600 Mbps

MIMO

Question 5

802.11ac

Answer 5

5 GHz ( 802.11a also uses 5GHz)

MU MIMO - 8 channels, each with 867 Mbps

Roughly 7 gbps

Question 6

802.11ax

Answer 6

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

Multi MIMO

9.6 gbps

( “x” as “both” for frequencies, and “x” as “10” for the rough throughput)
