thank you very much!!!

Answer 1

Wireless protocols are identified by letters, A, B, G and N is the newest technology.  A wireless device is just ethernet without the cable and must comply with ethernet standards.  N is fastest now, while B is slowest.

N is typically NOT compatible with B and G.  A is not compatible with anything.

Answer 2

all routers are fine for the most part and will be fine for you

The most standard routers use the same frequency as standard cordless phones ( they work together fine)

b was the first , g is a souped up b

( is rated in the lab at 11 , g at 54)

However the comedy is that even the older b wireless routers go way faster than most people's broadband high speed internet

n is the newest ( and most expensive)

it works on a different frequency ( similar to the newer 5.8 cordless phones)

If a person buys a new computer with wonderfull vista then in many cases they have to buy a n wireless adapter

N works with the others ( b and g) and vice versa

Unless you have a n wireless adapter ( and even then ) there is no reason yet to splurge on the n router ( unless you are media streaming in your home)

Get a standard run of the mill g wireless router that is on sale

The router that you are looking for is both for a router and some special service with fido

I would recommend a standard router model - if you have questions it more run of the mill ,standard and less complex

the standard Linksys g wireless router has just had a name and exterior box change

here it is

any of the standard g wireless routers should do fine

just make sure that they have toll free tech support for setup help if you need it
