Running Linksys Wireless B Broadband Router w/ Linksys Wireklss-B Adapter
on my laptop w/ Win XP SP2.

Can I run a wireless-g adapter on my notebook with the B router, or do I
need to replaceboth Linksys with "G" stuff? Trying to increase my
range/intermittent connections.

Thanks!

RED

The G will connect to the B router but at B speed. It may not increase
your range unless
your current B card is going south. If something external is causing
interference
and causing your intermittent connections then it probably wont help
that either.
But if you think you might upgrade to a wireless G router later then
Id go with the G.
