RE: [wirelesslan] Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router in combination with Wireless-B interface cards
Hi Tom, Bcoz of difference in modulation b/n b n' g once if there r b users in g network, the overall throughput will come down to b. So the users those who has g can't really see the difference.

As a result of the electrostatic discharge a number of switch ports (incl. the WAN port) on my LinkSys BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point Router blew up (not to mention the NICs in computers of some of my neighbours connected to it). I am now thinking of purchasing the LinkSys WRT54G (Wireless-G!) Access Point Router but, of course, can not expect all my neighbours who are still using Wireless-B cards to move to Wireless-G as well as most of them just do not require the higher throughput. Does anyone of you have experience with this combination? Are there any caveats I need to take into account? Of course all vendors (incl. LinkSys) state there should not be a problem mixing the B and G standards at all but I just want to make sure. Note that I am using 128-bit WEP encryption! Thanks in advance for your time.

Re: [wirelesslan] Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router in combination with Wireless-B interface cards
Yes, 802.11b clients should be able to connect just fine to a 802.11g access point. You can configure some access points, mostly enterprise ones, to only allow certain speeds such as 12, 18...54, which would prevent an 802.11b client from connecting. But the defaults should work just fine for your neighbors.
