wireless standards

Don’t know 802.11b from 802.11a from 802.11g? See Linksys’ handy Wireless Technology Comparison Chart

Before you rush out to upgrade to ‘g’, though, remember that most home DSL installations are only good for 1.5 Mb/sec throughput — or 13% of 802.11b’s best-case max. In other words, for home users, the bandwidth bottleneck is not the wireless connection, but the broadband connection itself. Even a high-end DSL or cable-modem installation will max out at 6 Mb/sec, just over half of 802.11b’s capacity.
