You are working as a network technician at Certkiller .com. You are installing a Wireless LAN at a
branch office. The WLAN will comply to the IEEE 802.11g standard. A user at the branch office
wants to know what the maximum connection speed of the wireless connection will be. What will
you answer him?
A.
24 Mbps
B.
54 Mbps
C.
15 Mbps
D.
11 Mbps
Explanation:
802.11g works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54
Mbit/s, or about 19 Mbit/s net throughput (identical to 802.11a core, except for some additional
legacy overhead for backward compatibility). 802.11g hardware is fully backwards compatible with
802.11b hardware. Details of making b and g work well together occupied much of the lingering
technical process.
