    Wireless A, first introduced in October of 1999, was the first wireless model available to the public. It had a maximum bit rate of 54 Mbit/s and could only go 100 feet before the signal was lost.

    Also released in 1999 was Wireless B. This had a really slow bit rate at a maximum of 11 Mbit/s, but what you lost in speed you gained with distance and you could go about 150 feet.

    After that came Wireless G. Like Wireless A, it had a maximum bit rate of 54 Mbit/s, but you could also get the distance of Wireless B’s 150 feet. Most modern (as of this writing) wireless households have Wireless G; it’s currently the most common type of wireless router throughout the world.

    Wireless N is the relatively new kid on the block. This is next gen wireless and has a maximum bit rate of 74 Mbit/s and can go about 230 feet. It’s also said that Wireless N travels at a higher frequency and can go through solid objects faster. Instead of running on a 2.4 GHz network like Wireless A, B, and G, it travels on a 5 GHz network.
