Ottawa Canada Dear Malaina and list:
Here is the 50 ยข explanation of the different types of wireless, also known as WIFI: There are presently four kinds: A. 54 mb/sec on the 5 GHz radio frequencies. B: 11 MG/sec on 2.4 GHz frequencies G 54 MB/sec also on 2.4 GHz frequencies Draft N: something like 104 or more MB/Sec on 2.4 GHz frequencies I think. Note that on the 2.4 GHz band, channels 1, 6 and 10 do not overlap any other channel. Not sure if any or all 5 GHz channels overlap each other or not. Draft N is called that because the final spec for it hasn't been published yet. Due to come out sometime this summer. I believe the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio frequencies used for Wireless Internet are shared with cordless telephones as friends with cordless phones in those ranges report interference between their telephone and wireless internet. WIFI A was the first form of wireless connectivity to come out. Cards for it and routers were originally quite expensive and it wasn't all that popular. Now most wireless cards for PCs cover A, B, G and often Draft N. Used to be people used A so their network was for the most part away from prying eyes and screens. But now every hacker has an A, B, G and Draft N card in his PC. OK now you're an expert on wireless Internet. Brian Brian K.
