Q:What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?

A:It is also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi. It is an expansion to 802.11 that applies to wireless LAN and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. The 802.11b uses only Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The 802.11b was a 1999 ratification to the origianl 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.

Q:What is WEP?

A:Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). A security mechanism defined within the 802.11 standard and designed to make the link integrity of the wireless medium equal to wired cable.

Q:What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?

A:IEEE 802.11g standard specifies data rates of up to 54 Mbps in the 2.45-GHz band. It uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which is the mandatory provisions have been made within the standard to make it inherently compatible with the well-established 802.11b standard at 11 Mbps, which uses Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation. Both .11g and .11b can operate at ranges of up to 300 feet.
