Hi,

Would appreciate someones help on this. I just bought a very good used Thinkpad T20 Notebook (Windows 2000, 512 RAM, 700 MHZ, Penitum 3, 15 gigs) for $300 inc. shipping that came with new Netgear MA521 card & software which offers 802.11b wireless access with 802.11g compatibility, Speeds up to 11 Mbps, 300 feet range 40/64 bit128-bit Wired Equivalency Protection (WEP) & Time Warner (Roadrunner Broadband)my cable company uses for free D Link G 54 Wireless G Notebook Adapter & software which offers 802.11g wireless service, 54 Mbps & bigger range. I live in an apartment & the room where I will be using my laptop will be 25 geet from the router modem which will be hardwired into my desktop. I will be using my laptop on for surfing the web. Given that will the D Link G 54 802.11g Wireless card make internet surfing alot faster then the Netgear MA 521 802.11b Wireless card? Any options/info appreciated. Thanks
 
Just use the 802.11G wireless card.

Although, it most likely won't make a difference, as your internet connection most likely isn't above 11Mbps.
 
Heya, it depends very much on the speed of the internet source. However, ypu would most likely not notice any difference whatsoever between G and B.
