Question Answer
802.11a 5GHz 54Mbps WiFi 2
802.11b 2.4GHZ 11Mbps up to 150ft
802.11g 2.4GHZ 54Mbps upgrade to 802.11b, backwards compatible same speeds as 802.11a WiFi 3
802.11n 2.4 & 5GHz 288Mbps (single channel) 600Mbps (bonded channels) wifi 4 upgrade for 802.11g, b, and a uses MIMO
802.11ac 5GHz 1.7Gbps wifi 5 upgrade for 802.11n uses MU-MIMO
802.11ax 2.4, 5 & 6GHz 2Gbps up to 10Gbps wifi 6 uses MU-MIMO
2.4 GHz channels 11 channels 3 non-overlapping 1, 6, 11
5GHz 45 channels 23 non-overlapping
ad-hoc mode chain devices together instead of going through a centralized device like an AP useful to share resources when no WAP is available
infrastructure mode requires utilizing one or more APs to manage everything on the WLAN
SSID Service Set Identifier name of the wireless access point
MIMO Multiple-In Multiple-Out uses two or more antennas, connects to multiple devices used in 802.11n, 3G, and 4G
MU-MIMO Multi-User, Multiple-In Multiple-Out makes the wait faster by dividing "the line" by multiple connection links used in 802.11n, 3G, and 4G
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy uses RC4 security deprecated occasionally on legacy systems
WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access uses TKIP (128-bit keys) security replaced WEP 802.11i
WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 2 uses AES-CCMP (256-bit keys) security 65% of wifi users 4-way handshake 802.11i
WPA3 Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 3 uses AES-GCMP (256-bit keys) security "dragonfly handshake" - 4-way, PFS uses SAE wifi 6, 802.11ax, 6GHz
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol the base on which WPA was built uses RC4 cipher
AES Advanced Encryption Standard block cipher - 128, 192, 256-bit keys invented by the military up to 256-bit key encryption IoT devices use AES
RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service AAA server enterprise wifi uses UDP encrypts only the password in the access-request packet
TACACS+ Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System+ AAA server Cisco proprietary uses TCP encrypts all of the data
Z-Wave IoT devices 908.42 MHz wireless mesh network up to 232 devices 4 hop limit AES-128 mandatory for connecting devices
Zigbee open-source 2.4 GHz wireless mesh network up to 65,000 nodes likely will have a master coordinator node
