An 802.11n-only network may be impractical for many users because they need to support legacy equipment that still is 802.11b/g only. In a mixed-mode system, an optimal solution would be to use a dual-radio access point and place the 802.11b/g traffic on the 2.4 GHz radio and the 802.11n traffic on the 5 GHz radio. [20]

There are wireless range extending devices that conform to all 802.11 protocols. Most 802.11 compliant devices are backward compatible. However, 802.11ac runs at 5 GHz and requires an access point capable of 5 GHz operation. 802.11ac equipment is backward compatible with 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b equipment.
The device is capable of sharing Internet connections among several computers via 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless data links. The WRT54GL as well as most (but not all) of the other variants in this series, are capable of running Linux-based third-party firmware for added features.
Wireless LAN (WLAN) channels are frequently accessed using IEEE 802.11 protocols. The 802.11 standard provides several radio frequency bands for use in Wi-Fi communications, each divided into a multitude of channels numbered at 5 MHz spacing (except in the 45/60 GHz band, where they are 0.54/1.08/2.16 GHz apart) between the centre frequency of the channel.
Wi-Fi (/ ˈ w aɪ f aɪ /) [1] [a] is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.
If you've been having trouble with any of the connections or words in Monday's puzzle, you're not alone and these hints should definitely help you out. Plus, I'll reveal the answers further down ...
The low cost and ubiquity of the Wi-Fi standard means that many newer mobile computers have a wireless network interface built into the motherboard. The term is usually applied to IEEE 802.11 adapters; it may also apply to a NIC using protocols other than 802.11, such as one implementing Bluetooth connections.
