Episode 31: Wi-Fi Standards — 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax

16 Aug 2025

Description

This episode provides a deep dive into the evolution of Wi-Fi standards, focusing on the specific versions tested in the Core 1 exam: 802.11 a, b, g, n, a c, and a x. We begin by explaining how each standard introduced new capabilities in terms of speed, frequency band, and bandwidth. You'll learn the max throughput, channel widths, and typical use cases for each version, allowing you to distinguish between standards during exam scenarios.We also explore backward compatibility, regulatory limitations, and why some standards like 802.11 a are less commonly seen today. Understanding how Wi-Fi standards differ helps you identify client and access point mismatches, troubleshoot poor performance, and select appropriate hardware during deployment. This episode prepares you for both direct multiple-choice questions and indirect scenario-based items that test your knowledge of wireless technologies. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
