Wireless N

#1 (**permalink**) 11-01-2009, 03:00 PM

I am thinking of getting a new laptop. It appears that they come with
Wireless N networking. Will this work with a Wireless G router? If it won't,
will my Wireless G computers work with a Wireless N router?

Wireless N client radios (like in the laptop) will fall back to G if
you connect to an 802.11g only router. Same with the N router. If
you connect with a 802.11g only client radio, it will fall back to G.
