Most wireless cards support Wireless-N these days, but make sure you're buying Draft 2.0 N cards.
Wireless routers that utilize MIMO or N (not Draft N) technology have the longest range. Brand wise I prefer Linksys but Netgear also makes a good product.
Wireless standards 802.11b, g, and n use the 2.4Ghz frequency band to operate. Revision B was released in 1999, and operates at 11 megabits per second. Wireless G was released as a standard in 2003 and operates at up to 54 megabits per second, and in some cases can be used at up to 128 megabits per second. Wireless N devices, which operate under the wireless N draft 2 specification (not yet officially released) have faster transfer speeds. the 802.11n draft 2 specification allows speeds up to 600Mbps, but the speeds of devices may vary.
Any wireless cards that support Wireless-N will support Wireless-G. However cards that support Wireless-G will not necessarily support Wireless-N
Some do. In the specs it is listed as optional: Optional HP ev2200 1xEV-DO Broadband Wireless Module (requires Verizon Wireless Service), optional HP hs2300 HSDPA Broadband Wireless Module (requires mobile network operator service); Intel 802.11a/b/g/draft-n, a/b/g, b/g, Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/draft-n, a/b/g, b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, HP Wireless Assistant
According to some reviews of the Belkin N+ wireless router, it performs better than other Draft N devices such as the Linksys WRT300N router. Before purchasing either router talk to an IT professional for the product that would best fit your needs.
wireless n is a type of wireless internet ("wi-fi)
no
Yes. Wireless N routers are backward-compatible with wireless G cards. You will not get the performance benefits of N though.
It's not about computer, it's about which wireless adapter you are going to use. If you want take advantage of Wireless-N, you have to have a wireless adapter N.
Wireless n has a highter bandwidth and range. Wireless n is therefore recommended. Note that the download speed on most internet connections is far less than what both wireless n and wireless g can handle.
