wireless g is a standard of wireless internet. The standard 802.11 has had a couple different generations such as b and g and x and currently the most popular is g and g is backwards compatible with b and it means that it has a different (i think higher) frequency than others.

Currently the best stable wireless standard, it is the 3rd wireless standard hence "gamma" but the full term is 802.11g
Next in line is N (why skipped "delta" is beyond me), but I don't know when it'll be finalized as stable standard; but 11gamma is showing its age and limits so Pre-N devices are flooding the market too.

It is the wireless protocol IEEE 802.11g. There has been 802.11a, b, c, d, e, and f. They all have different ranges, frequencies, and speeds. But they are based on the same protocol. If you have a 802.11g card, it can usually work on the others.

wireless g is capable of speeds of 54mbps..it is compatible with b which is only 11mbps...they both operate on 2.4ghz. wireless a is incompatible with both as it operates on 5 ghz

Just another way of identifying that "wireless g" is a Belkin product. I use it :)

g is 802.11g, don't go there... look for 802.11n,
much faster & more reliable. Brandy Spankin' New version of the 802.11 family!
