Re: Only problem with new Wifi Standards

But even if you are using modern machines, it doesn't mean you have a superduper WiFi card installed.

The big difference I've seen is that cheap home routers only supported 802.11g, which constrains many 4~9 year old devices with 802.11n adaptors. Upgrade that router to practically anything modern and suddenly that old laptop gains a new lease of life, because it can now fully use the capabilities of that 802.11n adaptor.
