The IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards both run in the 2.4GHz RF range.

The IEEE 802.11a standard provides a maximum data rate of up to 54Mbps, but you need to be close to the access point, somewhere around 65 to 75 feet.

The IEEE 802.11b standard provides the lowest data rate at 1Mbps, but it also has the longest distance, which is about 350 feet.

The IEEE 802.11a standard runs in the 5GHz RF range.
