    Just count them, that’s what I do. 1 is a, 2 is b, 3 is g, 4 is n, 5 is ac, 6 is ax.

      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”
