[QUOTE="Techpriest, post: 411527, member: 26154"] Think of it as lots of pipes hooked together. How much water you can get through it is determined by the smallest pipe. If you are 20mb from router to provider you will be fine as long as you keep all other pipes 20mb or larger. 802.11g is 54mb so you should be fine. 802.11b is 11mb, so you will not be as fast as you could be. Keep in mind these are theoretical speeds, in reality g is more like 30 and b is more like 6. There are other standards, just make sure the one you get is a bigger pipe than 20mb. [/QUOTE]
