The name 802.11 is derived from the IEEE standard that it represents. 802.11 refers to a family of wireless standards, each differing slightly in the implementation, but achieving the same goal, networking computers without wires. IEEE 802.11g, has overtaken IEEE 802.11b as the most popular standard. This is commonly called Wireless LAN or Wi-Fi.
