Re: 802.11b vs. 802.11g - current view?

802.11g gives greater range than 802.11b - you may be thinking about 802.11a
which has a smaller range:

Interesting link but if you read it carefully, as far as I can see, it
says g has greater range than a, there is no b/g comparison other than
OFDM being better than CCK for multipath.
