This document compares the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking standards. 802.11b has a maximum speed of 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread spectrum, while 802.11g can reach 54 Mbps using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz band and are susceptible to interference. 802.11g has faster speeds but still faces interference issues. The channel assignments for each standard in different regions are also detailed. In conclusion, 802.11g performance is better than 802.11b despite operating in the crowded 2.4 GHz band.
