    The document discusses the evolution of Wi-Fi standards over time from IEEE 802.11 to the current IEEE 802.11ax standard. It describes each major standard including the year introduced, operating frequency band, and maximum supported data transfer rates. The standards have increased speeds from 1 Mbps for the original to over 1 Gbps for 802.11ac and projected 10 Gbps for the upcoming 802.11ax standard. This has driven widespread adoption of Wi-Fi through improved performance.

    WIFI IEEE 802.11
    IEEE 802.11: The original! Created in 1997, this now-defunct standard supported a blazing fast
    maximum connection speed of megabits per second (Mbps). Devices using this haven’t been
    made for over a decade and won’t work with today’s equipment.

    IEEE 802.11a: Created in 1999, this version of Wi-Fi works on the 5GHz band. This was done with
    the hope of encountering less interference since many devices (like most wireless phones) also
    use the 2.4GHz band. 802.11a is fairly quick too, with maximum data rates topping out at
    54Mbps. However, the 5GHz frequency has more difficulty with objects that are in the signal’s
    path, so the range is often poor.

    IEEE 802.11b: Also created in 1999, this standard uses the more typical 2.4GHz band and can
    achieve a maximum speed of 11Mbps. 802.11b was the standard that kick-started Wi-Fi’s
    popularity.

    IEEE 802.11g: Designed in 2003, the 802.11g standard upped the maximum data rate to 54Mbps
    while retaining usage of the reliable 2.4GHz band. This resulted in widespread adoption of the
    standard.
    IEEE 802.11n: Introduced in 2009, this version had slow initial adoption. 802.11n operates on
    both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as well as supporting multi-channel usage. Each channel offers a
    maximum data rate of 150Mbps, which means the maximum data rate of the standard is
    600Mbps.

    IEEE 802.11ac: The ac standard is what you will find most wireless devices using at the time of
    writing. Initially released in 2014, ac drastically increases the data throughput for Wi-Fi devices
    up to a maximum of 1,300 megabits per second. Furthermore, ac adds MU-MIMO support,
    additional Wi-Fi broadcast channels for the 5GHz band, and support for more antenna on a single
    router.

    IEEE 802.11ax: Next up for your router and your wireless devices is the ax standard. When ax
    completes its rollout, you will have access to theoretical network throughput of 10Gbps—around
    a 30-40 percent improvement over the ac standard. Furthermore, wireless ax will increase
    network capacity by adding broadcast subchannels, upgrading MU-MIMO, and allowing more
    simultaneous data streams.
