- The letter "g" also stands for a 2.4 GHz frequency Band with a transmission speed of up to 54 Mbit/s.
- However, the "n" is a 2.4 and 5 GHz represents a Band with a transmission speed of up to 600 Mbit/s.
- The highest transmission rate provides ac with up to 1.3 GBit/s on a 5 GHz frequency Band.
- This information is however not binding, but of the respective conditions dependent.
