Discussion is locked
as listed in your profile, I wonder if your better alternative is to enrol in some computer electronics course.
You will then be able to discuss all of these topics that you find yourself such a newbie at, in more more detail and depth.

IEEE 802.11b-1999 or 802.11b, is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking specification that extends throughput up to 11 Mbit/s using the same 2.4GHz band.
So, in fact, it's a document (a specification, a standard). It's not a cable, not a port, not software. If somebody told otherwise in the post you found at yahoo he was wrong. But since you didn't link to that answer I can't check.

As Kees_B said IEEE 802.11b-1999, 802.11b and 802.11a all are standard of wireless, but they would be past, as wireless become more and more popular. Now 802.11n and 802.11ac standard is a tendency, they can offer higher speed.
