There are different PHY types or Wi-Fi types which are simply put different standards of use for each frequency. There are currently 6 Wi-Fi types or standards available today. The standards for Wi-Fi are defined by the IEEE in 802.11. The following are amendments to the 802.11 standards. Wi-Fi 1 (802.11b) 802.11b or Wi-Fi 1 as it has recently been deemed. Was ratified by the IEEE in 1999. This technology is limited to 2.4Ghz only. It had a max bandwidth of 11Mbps. Wi-Fi 1 distance from the router. With free space path loss. https://www.imgtec.com/blog/802-11b-802-11b-question/ This technology is extremely outdated and holds back Wi-Fi networks from optimal performance. While all routers and Access Points(AP) are capable of supporting Wi-Fi 1, it is strongly encouraged to remove this support from your network. I will cover details of why later. If you happen to have something that is from the early 2000s that is still working...
