wireless network question
OoOoOoo... Let me start off by saying, I have never used a wireless network before, so bare with me OK, to begin with, I found a wireless router made by D-link for 19.99 here:

Now it is a 802.11b wireless router, my question is, will it work with my airport extreme card? which is a 802.11g (of course everyone knows this so I don't know why I put it there but whatever ). If it does work, I know it would give me less then half my potential speed, but hey, 19.99 isn't bad for a wireless router, right?

How does it do 22Mbps? Is it part of the 802.11b specification or is it a crafty DLink thing?
I was wondering the same thing, but I asked if a windows router would still send a signal to a pb

802.11b/g work on a spread spectrum from 2.41Ghz to 2.49Ghz. Most 2.4Ghz digital phones out there use a narrow frequency band, and the 802.11 device will automatically switch to a different spectrum pattern if there's too much interference.

A router doesn't know or care what operating systems run on the clients it serves. There are no "Windows" routers, and there are no "Mac" routers either. The internet is platform-agnostic. It's too dumb. One of its greatest, most wonderful attributes. And as long as BillG doesn't have his way, it will stay that way.
