[QUOTE="Animatronica, post: 47571"] 802.11G doesnt always get better range. It really depends on the settings but it can get up to 300ft..B ususaly tops at 150 - 200ft. Anyway, if you aren't going to be using it at long distances then their really is no need to go G. You surely wont ever get connected at more the 11mb on a cable connection..so IMO you should just use a standard 802.11B card.
