Explanation

802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) is the first mainstream Wi-Fi standard designed to operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands (dual-band), providing backward compatibility with older devices while also offering the higher-throughput benefits of the 5 GHz band. 802.11a (A) operates exclusively on 5 GHz. 802.11b (B) operates exclusively on 2.4 GHz. 802.11g (C) operates exclusively on 2.4 GHz. This dual-band capability of 802.11n, combined with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna technology, allowed it to achieve theoretical speeds up to 600 Mbps.
