Wireless Ethernet speed and frequency
Wireless Ethernet is available at two different speeds and at two different
frequencies. The following table compares the various wireless Ethernet
network types.
The two most common types of wireless Ethernet networks are access point
and peer-to-peer.

Important
The speed of a wireless network is related to signal
strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance
between your wireless network devices, by radio
interference, and by interference from natural obstructions
such as walls, floors, and doors.
