802.11b
The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 
11 Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. 
The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.
802.11g
The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 
54 Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data 
rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and 
environment.
802.11n
The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 
248 Mbps. 802.11n is a proposed amendment which improves upon the 
previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output 
(MIMO) and many other newer features.
10BASE-T
The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 
twisted pair cable.
100BASE-TX
The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 
twisted-pair cable. 
Access Point
An access point is a device through which wireless clients connect to 
other wireless clients and which acts as a bridge between wireless clients 
and a wired network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved 
anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and still connect 
with each other. If connected to an Ethernet network, the access point 
monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to 
the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic 
and forwarding wireless client messages to the Ethernet LAN.
