I just bought a Belkin Wireless Laptop Network Card Adapter - 54g.for
my laptop and now want to buy a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless G
Router I see there is a few on eBay with 125g on the box. Would
this
still be compatible or would I have to buy the one with 54g. Not
knowing much about it I suppose I would not benefit the extra speed
if
I only have a 54g on the laptop would this be right?

Cheers
Tracey

125g equipment is backward-compatible to 54g-- so it would work for you.

In my experience, even if both the computer and router claim to be capable
of 125GB/second, you probably won't get more than 54GB/sec anyway - and
you'll only get that when the two are in direct line of sight in the same
room with no interference from any other signals or appliances.

I know what you meant, but what would this group be without smartass
replies? I'd give you $12 for a couple of wireless devices that can do
54GB/sec.

Proper notation would be 54Mb/sec methinks. That's something like 8,000
times slower, but still usuable.
