●802.11a - provides over the air transmission speeds of up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency band.

●802.11b - provides over the air transmission speeds of up to 11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

●802.11g - provides over the air transmission speeds of more than 20 Mbps in the 2.4 Ghz frequency band.

●802.11n - provides over the air transmission speeds of more than 50 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz frequency bands.

Signal Strength

This gauge shows the strength of the signal being broadcast from the currently selected network. Stronger signals tend to produce more reliable connections.
