Question about my wireless card for my laptop?
Dell 802.11g card and a intel 802.11a/g card
my college supports both but i thought a sucked and g was the new standard now so there would be no point in getting the a card right? or should i get the a/g card please help
Answers:
Either will be fine but sometimes it's nice to have the A option since you may need to get onto a network that only supports A. Also, if the network, even though running G, has nothing but A computers on it, guess which speed is run for the whole network? A speed. Also, the Intel chipset runs Linux very well, in case you care to play with Linux in the near future.
Get the a/g card, it is fine.
Probably no point... Who knows... You might want to use it somewhere where there's only an A network available... I'm sure there are still some around.
I thought most G cards could handle A too. Maybe they just didn't add that to the description?
A laptop usually comes with a wireless card built-in, so theres no need to buy it.
The more choices is the better.
