Ok, so it can be a little difficult staying on top of all the different standards that are out there for wireless Internet. Just as people were finally starting to become aware of 802.11b and what it was, they’ve already gone ahead and come out with two new standards, 802.11a and 802.11g. To help ease the confusion a bit, Tom’s Hardware has a thorough guide to everything you need to know about 802.11g, the new standard which is faster than 802.11b and, mercifully, backwards compatible with 802.11b.
