IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi Standards)

IEEE 802.11 refers to a set of standards that define how wireless local area networks (Wi-Fi) operate. These standards specify how devices communicate over radio waves to connect to the internet and each other. Different versions, like 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax, offer improvements in speed, range, and reliability. Essentially, these standards ensure that devices from various manufacturers can work together seamlessly, providing wireless access at faster speeds and better coverage as the technology evolves.
