Which of these wireless network standards support maximum throughputs of over 50 Mbps? Pick three.
A) 802.11a
B) 802.11b
C) 802.11g
D) 802.11n
E) Wait a second; don’t all radio waves travel at the speed of light?
The answer: A) 802.11a, C) 802.11g, and D) 802.11n
802.11b uses similar frequencies as 802.11g, but the older wireless standard is only designed for a theoretical maximum throughput of 11 megabits per second.
And yes, I realize that radio waves only travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
