What is the difference between 802.11 g and 802.11g? Sometimes I can even see 802.11 a/b/g. I know it has something to do with wireless networks but what do the letters a,b or g mean. Thanks a lot for your answers !
Regards

Uh, you may want to edit that title.
Basically, there's three official, and one unofficial standard now for Wi-Fi, a, b, g, and n (the unofficial one).
a, b, and g, basically incrementally increases the speed. The letter itself just means the sequence of letters they went through, it doesn't "stand for" anything.
n haven't been officially blessed yet, it's only in "draft" form, so right now hardware are known as "pre-n". You'll get firmware update when the standard is approved.
a/b/g just means the hardware is compatible with all three.

It is just the difference in speeds, g is the fastest on the open market.
For anyone who is intersted, N will be the fastest and is in use already within some places (like some MACS) . It will quadrouple the WI-Fi speeds g users get.
