Currently, 802.11b is the most commonly available of the 3 competing standards, and 802.11g is being downwardly compatible with 802.11b. In environments where only 802.11g is activated, 802.11g offers a fast data transfer rate of up to 54Mbps, the same rate as 802.11a. If both 802.11b and 802.11g signals are present, the maximum 802.11g transfer rate is reduced to that of 802.11b. The 802.11a standard receives the least interference from other signals. * In environments where only 802.11g is activated. If both 802.11b and 802.11g signals are present, the maximum data transfer rate of 802.11g will be reduced to that of 802.11b (up to 11Mbps).
