What’s the difference between 802.11g and draft 802.11n?

Currently there are three commonly used wireless networking standards, which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on the designation for certifying network standards. The most common wireless networking standard, 802.11g, can transmit information up

to 54Mbps; 802.11a also supports up to 54Mbps, but in the 5GHz frequency; and 802.11n draft specification can connect at up to 300Mbps. See the following chart for more detailed information.
