they're somewhat 2 distinctive frequencies (although the two comply to the 802.11x prevalent). instant N ingredients a superior sign and extra good (and quicker) archives pass rates than the classic g. regardless of the undeniable fact that, in the adventure that your laptop has a G instant adapter and you're making use of an N router, at the same time as you will nevertheless be waiting to connect, you will in straight forward terms connect making use of the G sign and not get the N reward. provided which you're making use of the two an N router and an N adapter will you get the reward of the instant N router.

the main diff between B and G is the speed. B can transmit upto 11mbs, G can upto 54mbs (that's almost 5times). G is newer than B. Normally, a G router also supports B, but not the other way around.

802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.40 GHz (gigahertz) band, operating (in the United States) under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Because of this choice of frequency band, 802.11b and 802.11g equipment can incur interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and other appliances using this same band. The 802.11a standard uses the 5 GHz band, and is therefore not affected by products operating on the 2.4 GHz band.
The segment of the radio frequency spectrum used varies between countries, with the strictest limitations in the United States. While it is true that in the U.S. 802.11a and g devices may be legally operated without a licence, it is not true that 802.11a and g operate in an unlicensed portion of the radio frequency spectrum. Unlicensed (legal) operation of 802.11 a & g is covered under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Frequencies used by channels one (1) through six (802.11b) fall within the range of the 2.4 gigahertz amateur radio band. Licensed amateur radio operators may operate 802.11b/g devices under Part 97 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, allowing increased power output but not allowing any commercial content.
