AI James Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 you look up your laptop specs on the web and it should tell you what the speed is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI James Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 near the serial number you should have a model number, then you just search google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MegaloManiac Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 a bit late steppin up to G, wirelss N is out now... but yea google search ur wireless card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalan Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 a bit late steppin up to G, wirelss N is out now... but yea google search ur wireless card wireless N is for businesses you dont need N in your house unless you want to be able to share your network with some neighbors... youre internet speed probably isnt faster than wireless A anyway (11mbps i believe) so G (54mbps) is redundant but the most commonly used for mutliple pc setups in your house. but if you cant find youre laptop on google do this control panel->(make sure your on classic view bleh i hate the other one)->network connections->click once on the wireless connection just to highlight it-> on the left side under the catergory "Network Tasks" should be some options go down to "Change settings of this connection"-> in a text box under "connect using:" should be your internal wireless card and you can copy and paste that info and go into google and search it...

N is only better with business where their networks are like T3 and shit for home use where your network is probably like 3-5mbps on broadband G is the best way to go cause N would just be a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
