WOW...

It is only "slow", "insecure", and "unreliable" if you make it so.....

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Public Information &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Follows..


   - *802.11* -- applies to wireless
LANs<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/local_area_network_LAN.html>and
provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the
   2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread
spectrum<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/FHSS.html>(FHSS) or direct
   sequence spread spectrum <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/DSSS.html>(DSSS).
   - *802.11a* -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless
LANs<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/802_11.html#>and provides up to
54 Mbps in the 5GHz band.
   802.11a uses an orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/OFDM.html>encoding scheme
rather than FHSS or DSSS.
   - *802.11b* (also referred to as *802.11 High Rate* or
*Wi-Fi*<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/Wi_Fi.html>)
   -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANS and provides
   11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the
2.4GHz band.
   802.11b uses only DSSS. 802.11b was a 1999 ratification to the
   original 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable
   to Ethernet <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/8/802_11.html#>.
   - *802.11g* -- applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the
   2.4 GHz band.
