Wireless-N

Is this compatible with your laptop if you can pick-up A & G band?

No. You need to have hardware in your laptop that states it is explicitly compatible with Wireless-N. If you have that hardware, it will most likely also be "backward compatible" and be able to pick up G & A (if that's what is sent).

If the router is sending N, you need hardware that can pick up N. Most routers that can do N, can also send G or A instead.

I think....

Most N routers are fully compatible with B & G, only some A.

I use N on my laptop and it pick's up anything and everything, even the tire shop down the street.

Most N routers will only go as fast as the slowest machine which is connected to it.

Good deal, I'll have to look further into it. My laptop is about 2 years old and I was worried about the compatibility.
