    I’m more confused now than before. I always knew what b, g, n and ac were, but now when people say Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 I don’t know which of the standards it corresponds to.

        You want to be really confused then? Because b is WiFi 1 and a is WiFi 2. Everything else you said is correct though.

          Wait, what? How could they do that? The first standard was wifi a, I was there 3000 years ago! These guys have no respect for history! /OldManYellsAtCloud

          Edit: it seems that b and a both came in 1999. Oh well.

              Ugh, yeah I still remember working at a school 20+ years ago trying to figure out why I couldn’t connect to WiFi with a lab full of computers. Amazingly I feel like we’re only just now at a point where WiFi is mature enough that a current system is basically the same experience as twisted pair.

        Thanks, that actually a good idea.

        I guess I did miss “a”, that was never something I saw on our older APs when I was a teen, only “b”
