Standard Frequencies Bandwidth Net Data Rate Range Indoor/Outdoor
802.11a 5 GHz 20 MHz 54 Mbit/s 35m / 120m
802.11b 2.4 GHz 20 MHz 11 Mbit/s 35m / 140m
802.11g 2.4 GHz 20 MHz 54 Mbit/s 38m / 140m

Table 5.17.: IEEE 802.11 Network Standards
Prior to setting up an access point, it is always a good idea to run a network scan for
getting a list of neighboring WLAN networks and then choose the less interfering channel.
Please note that two adequate channels are required for getting good throughputs with
802.11n and a bandwidth of 40 MHz.
