[Wylug-discuss] Adding a wireless router to an existing network

[Mischa Oliver Altmann]

correction to my previous post (verrrry sorry for that)!

There exist three WLAN standards that are "Wi-Fi certified":
IEEE 802.11a/b/g

Name           Frequency    rate*
----------------------------------
IEEE 802.11a   5 GHz        54 Mbps
IEEE 802.11b   2.4 GHz      11 Mbps
IEEE 802.11g   2.4 GHz      54 Mbps

* note that (proprietry) extensions exist to double the basic rate (e.g. 22Mbps,
108Mbps)
