Question: What is the wireless speed for 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless standard?

When we talk about wireless speed, it’s more accurate to describe it as throughput, means the amount of data sent/received in certain time period, such as Megabits per second (Mb/s). However, you can still call it as speed if you like (easier to understand).

The throughput of 802.11a standard is 54Mbps
The throughput of 802.11b standard is 11Mbps
The throughput of 802.11g standard is 54Mbps
The throughput of 802.11n standard is 540Mbps

Note: The 802.11n standard is still not yet finalized, expected to have some other draft versions and finalized in 2008.
