Atheros has also adapted this technology to their 802.11a/g chipsets, marketing it as Super AG. Super G is one of several competing incompatible proprietary extension approaches that were developed to increase performance of 802.11g wireless devices, such as Xpress from Broadcom, MIMO-based extensions from Airgo Networks, and Nitro from Conexant.
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.
This Linksys WRT54GS, a combined router and Wi‑Fi access point, operates using the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using signalling rates up to 54 Mbit/s. IEEE 802.11 Wi-fi networks are the most widely used wireless networks in the world, connecting devices like laptops (left) to the internet through a wireless router (right).
Ralink was a participant in the Wi-Fi Alliance and the IEEE 802.11 standards committees. [1] Ralink chipsets are used in various consumer-grade routers made by Gigabyte Technology , Linksys , D-Link , Asus and Belkin , as well as Wi-Fi adaptors for USB , PCI , ExpressCard , PC Card , and PCI Express interfaces.
802.11g is the third modulation standard for wireless LANs.It works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbit/s.Using the CSMA/CA transmission scheme, 31.4 Mbit/s [9] is the maximum net throughput possible for packets of 1500 bytes in size and a 54 Mbit/s wireless rate (identical to 802.11a core, except for some additional legacy overhead for ...
A wireless network interface controller may be implemented as an expansion card and connected using PCI bus or PCIe bus, or connected via USB, PC Card, ExpressCard, Mini PCIe or M.2. 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.
In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router , but in a wireless router it can also be an integral ...
