Help with 700m Wireless please

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Sorry for the basic question, but I’m pretty new to wireless. I’m looking to buy a 700m from eBay or Cragslist.org and I notice some say the integrated wireless is 802.11b, some say 802.11g and some say 802.11b/g.

I know that g is faster than b, but how much faster is it?

What’s the deal with the b/g?

This is primarily going to be a travel machine and I will be connecting wirelessly in many hotels and I really do want the fastest possible connection.

TIA.

You want the g. g is backwards compatible w/ b, so those listing it as g only are incorrect. In other words if you get the g you get the b/g.

B is 11 mbps, g is 54 mbps...so roughly five times faster. Definitely get G.
