Which statement correctly describes 802.11g?

• A. It is the 11 Mbps standard on 5 GHz
• B. It is the 54 Mbps standard on 2.4 GHz
• C. It is the 54 Mbps standard on 2.4 GHz
• D. It is the 24 Mbps standard on 2.4 GHz

Answer: (C)

802.11g runs in the 2.4 GHz band and uses OFDM to achieve up to 54 Mbps, while remaining backward compatible with 802.11b devices. This makes it the 54 Mbps standard on 2.4 GHz. The idea of 11 Mbps on 5 GHz mixes up 802.11a (which is 54 Mbps on 5 GHz) with g. The notion of 24 Mbps describes one of the lower data rates that g can use, but it isn’t the defining standard.
