A new WiFi Standard, 802.11g, was approved yesterday, combining the best of the traditional 802.11b (AKA Airport) and the next-gen 802.11 (which runs five times faster than .11b, but at a different radio-frequency, which means that interoperation requires two different radios tuned to the different frequencies). .11f runs at the same speed at .11a, but in the same band as .11b, and that’s great news — mostly. The only catch is that .11b/f’s frequency, 2.4GHz, is also used by BlueTooth devices and some cordless phones, which creates lots of opportunities for radio-frequency interference that can toast your wireless network.
