nice components for that.

Can you check what version it is? You can find that underneath the router.

The only experience I have with N routers is the Apple one and I'm very

It's a very good router but also consider the DGL-4500, you may not

Well what I want to do is put a wireless card in my Linux server and

with computers that have 802.11a or 802.11n card in them be able to

Depends on your router
802.11a definitely not. I don't know if all 802.11n cards have a fallback
to 'b' or 'g'. I suspect most of them do, since 'n' is relatively new, so the
vendors need to provide backwards compatibility.
