This is from the Netgear Partner newsletter I receive...
...Similar to 802.11b, the 802.11g physical layer standard provides a throughput of up to 54 Mbps. It also operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band but uses a different radio technology in order to boost overall bandwidth.
Our 802.11a/g product offers the highest networking speeds available in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands. The flexible WAG511 is fully compatible with both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless protocols, as well as the 802.11g draft specification, so users can roam with their notebook PC from the office, to public access areas (such as hotels, airports and conference facilities), back to home no matter which protocol is supported in each of these environments.
NETGEAR’s Wireless LAN Manager allows users to set up location specific profiles and scans the area to provide a station list of all of the available WLAN access points in the area.
Designed and developed to the IEEE 802.11g draft specification, the NETGEAR WAG511, WG511 and WG602 offer customers speeds of up to almost five times faster than the widely deployed 802.11b WLANs found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the world. Since they share the same frequency (2.4 GHz), these products are backward compatible with existing IEEE 802.11b products.
While the IEEE 802.11g standard ratification is expected later in 2003, NETGEAR will provide customers with a firmware upgrade via the Support web site, at no charge, if the ratification materially changes the principle operating features. In addition, NETGEAR will offer an upgrade to the new security protocol, WPA (Wi-Fi protected access).
