Backward compatibility problem
My laptop connects to my D-Link Xtreme G router just fine at home, but
in a motel recently I had to use their Netgear USB adapter to connect to their wireless B network. Is there a setting I can check to help the laptop connect to B networks without the use of a different brand adapter? JimD |

Re: Backward compatibility problem
G is automatically backwards compatible with B. There is no button or
setting to adjust on behalf of the NIC.

Re: Backward compatibility problem
Then why won't my laptop connect with a B network on the road just as it
connects with the G network at home? In the motel, the machine shows a very low strength connection at 54 Mbps but can't connect to the net.

Re: Backward compatibility problem
Sounds like your card has a bad driver or is need of repair or replacement.
