On my laptop, I ran on the command line:<br />
<br />
netsh wlan show drivers<br />
<br />
The &quot;Radio Types Supported&quot; say: &nbsp;802.11a 802.11b 802.11g.<br />
<br />
However, if I navigate to the Device Manager in the &quot;Advanced&quot; tab for my wireless card, it shows properties for 802.11n on different channels and for a 802.11n mode. &nbsp;So, is it capable of handling 802.11n? &nbsp;<br />

802.11n Hardware Question

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
