wifi system
Hello,
I have an ACER laptop model 5100-5674 with an onboard 802.11b/g wireless card. This unit connects to a Linksys wireless router with 802.11 b/g capacity. If I upgrade the router to a 802.11n unit, how can I update the laptop to the same 802.11n protocol?
thanks

however, if you get an external 802.11n adapter for the Acer laptop, the speed will be doubled. be aware that the laptop's on-board Wi-Fi adapter can *not* be directly upgraded. you will have two wireless adapters with the laptop in this situation.
