802.11 is a set of wireless networking standards developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) for implementing Wi-Fi networks. These standards define how devices communicate over radio waves within a local area network (WLAN). Variants like 802.11a, b, g, n, ac, and ax (Wi-Fi 6) offer improvements in speed, range, and efficiency. For example, 802.11n introduced MIMO technology for better throughput, while 802.11ac and ax support faster speeds and better performance in crowded environments. 802.11 standards are the foundation of modern wireless internet, enabling seamless connectivity for laptops, smartphones, smart devices, and more.
