Solved!
Go to SolutionNew to wireless networking and new to Dell
Hello!
I am thinking about getting a nice Dell laptop for myself and it has all the bells and whistles.
The problem I am sooo confused about the network card / routers N G ????
The model I am looking at has the Dell Wireless 1520 802.11N Half Mini Card.
I am on bellsouth/att and they have a 'g' network ???
What do I need to get to set up this wireless networking, and is the
Dell Wireless 1520 802.11N Half Mini Card compatible with the 'g' ???
IF this is a yes what router or gateway is recommended? N G ???
BTW ... I have an ADSL 6+ connection.
thank you!
Hiya,
Actually, I didn't say that I already had a router.
I mentioned that I am on bellsouth/att and they have a 'g' network.
I have not purchased my new Dell, or a wireless router.
BUT I was looking for advise as to what to get.
SO IF I get the "N" router it is backward compatible?
And IF I get the "1520 802.11N Half Mini Card" in my new Dell,
that it will work with the Bellsouth/ATT??
Thanks again :)

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
Wireless N is currently the fastest broadband speed available, but don't worry if your router only supports wireless G.
Wireless N is backwards compatible, so the new laptop will still be able to connect to your router just fine :emotion-5:
