Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More info

to open System Profiler. If you have any MBP other than the first revision (early 2006), you have 802.11n.

802.1X (Port Based Network Access Control) is totally unrelated to 802.11a/b/g/n.

Ok now i know that of the 802.11a/b/g/n, for it was needed to use with some other software, i also asked to check about the dvd and what for one thas my mbp have and if it is posible to get the pages where i can also update its firmware.

md..well what are your pourpuse to be in a forum where people may ask for help or support?

What software do you have that requires a specific 802.11 standard?
What kind of firmware updates do you want for your optical drive? The official ones from the company that made it, or the third party ones to enable things like region unlocking and higher speeds? You'll have to tell us which drive model you have from ibook_steve's directions.
