Specific 802.11 Wireless LAN Standards
802.11n
- Uses MIMO to give higher throughputs and longer transmission distances
- Also uses 40 MHz channels instead of normal 20 MHz 802.11 channels to further increase throughput
- 100 Mbps throughputs are common
- A bit of overkill for most users
- Today, the standard is still in draft, so devices bought today may not be upgradeable or may be upgradeable only with more effort than most users will want to make
