What is the difference between a wireless LAN and a wireless G card?

Answer 1

N is faster and has a longer range (if you live in a multi-story home or apartment it is amazing). G is, of course, cheaper. If you are wondering, don't worry about the fact that the N standard isn't finalized yet. Most devices conform to the draft standard. Any change from the current standard will be minimal at this stage in the process and will most likely only require a firmware update if the final standard does in fact change... The extra cost for wireless-N makes sense if you need the improved range due to a large home or multiple walls between the computer and the base station. If you need to transfer files between other computers or stream music within your local network (you have a media center PC and want to stream music/video) you will benefit from the faster speed of wireless-N You won't get any extra speed boost from N if you are the only computer on your network and you are relatively close to the base station. Remember, even with an 8 Meg cable modem, the bandwidth of 54Meg wireless-G is more than sufficient.

Answer 2

No. Wireless N is a successor to wireless G. Wireless N is faster, and supposedly more robust with greater signal range than wireless G.

That being said, the common user with 3 or 4 computers using wireless for nothing more than an internet connection will likely see no difference between the two.

Answer 3

There is LAN (Local Area Network) which is hardwired through ethernet cable. Then there is WAN (Wireless Area Network) which would be your Wireless G Card using no wires.

Answer 4

wireless n is the new wireless mode with faster speed and range
