wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have a wireless b router but was given a wireless g. What is the difference? Can the same card be used with both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Use the G. It is faster. Your card will still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you have a 54Gbps pipe running out of your house you should use the G. If you don't and your B is working, use the B, probably less interference and will probably be more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Use the wireless G router. The data transfer speeds (11mbps for B, 54mbps for G) are theoretical maximum speeds. I've found in practice that my 6Mb roadrunner cable connection has more bandwidth than a wireless B connection can support. Use the wireless G router and buy a G card and don't look back.
