802.11ay (Wi-Fi 7) is up next. Each standard is faster and more reliable than the one that came before it and is generally backward-compatible. The Wi-Fi Alliance&nbsp;refers to the various technologies by a simplified Wi-Fi version number.

As in 802.11a/b/g networking, each 802.11n device uses a preset Wi-Fi channel on which to transmit. The 802.11n standard uses a broader frequency range than the earlier standards, which increases data throughput. <h2> 802 11n Performance </h2> 802.11n connections support maximum theoretical network bandwidth up to 300 Mbps, depending primarily on the number of wireless radios in the devices.

802.11n devices operate in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. <h2> 802 11n vs Pre-n Network Equipment </h2> In the last few years before 802.11n was officially ratified, network equipment manufacturers sold pre-N or draft N devices based on preliminary drafts of the standard. This hardware is generally compatible with current 802.11n gear, although older devices might require firmware upgrades.
