802.11a: The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps and 
an operating frequency of 5GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency 
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard 
supports 802.11 features such as WEP encryption for security.
802.11b:The 802.11b standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 11Mbps, an 
operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are 
also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
802.11g: The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps, an 
operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are 
also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. 
802.11x: A series of IEEE specifications for LANs: currently 802.11b, 802.11a, and 
802.11g. Using any one of these extensions to the 802.11 standard permits wireless 
communication between a client and an access point or between two clients. 802.1x is 
based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), the 802.1x standard is one of the 
IEEE standards for network authentication and key management. It establishes a 
framework that supports multiple authentication methods. This standard can be 
incorporated into any type of network to enhance its security.
Access Point: A device that serves as a communications hub for wireless clients and 
provides a connection to a wired LAN. 
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): A federal information-processing standard,
