as i have read good reviews on their speed and range. the router will be connected via eithernet cable to a desktop in the basement... there will be a laptop on the first floor with a 802.11g card(this is where the problem/question comes into play) and the pci wireless card will be for my desktop on the second floor. now since the laptop does not support super g.. if i enable super g on the router... will the laptop be able to use this connection? i do not want to spend the extra money on the super g and then not be able to use it because the laptop cant connect.
if not, then i will just be getting 54mbps product.
