Wait, what? How could they do that? The first standard was wifi a, I was there 3000 years ago! These guys have no respect for history! /OldManYellsAtCloud
Edit: it seems that b and a both came in 1999. Oh well.
They also weren’t compatible with each other. That was fun.
Ugh, yeah I still remember working at a school 20+ years ago trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to WiFi with a lab full of computers. Amazingly I feel like we're only just now at a point where WiFi is mature enough that a current system is basically the same experience as twisted pair.
