Different Wi-Fi Protocols and Data Rates
| Protocol | Frequency | Maximum data rate (theoretical) |
|---|---|---|
| 802.11n | 2.4 or 5 GHz | 450 Mbps3 |
| 802.11g | 2.4 GHz | 54 Mbps |
| 802.11a | 5 GHz | 54 Mbps |
| 802.11b | 2.4 GHz | 11 Mbps |

What should my 802.11 N rate be?
The 802.11n specification requires devices to support the 802.11e standard (QoS for improved wireless performance) to use the High Throughput mode, i.e. speeds above 54 Mbps.
How can I make my 802.11 N faster?
For an 802.11n connection to run at its maximum speed, Wireless-N broadband routers and network adapters must be linked and running in what's called channel bonding mode. In 802.11n, bonding uses two adjacent Wi-Fi channels simultaneously to double the wireless link bandwidth compared to 802.11b/g.
Which channel is best for 802.11 n?
Non-Overlapping Channels
As said above every wireless channel on the 2.4 GHz spectrum is 20 MHz wide. When using 802.11n with 20 MHz channels, choose the 1, 6, and 11 ones.
Is 802.11 N 5GHz or 2.4 GHz?
802.11n operates on both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. Support for 5 GHz bands is optional. Its net data rate ranges from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s.
