    Right now..I am still using wireless B at home;therefore, the transfer speed is really slow (11.0 Mps)
    I am thinking about upgrade my wireless router with DLink DI-784 (transfer speed 108 Mps)

    but ...will my 6400 support that fast speed ??

    thanks

    you will need to get the matching D-link wifi card. make sure to check if you have expresscard or pccard and if Dlink offers an notebook wifi card for whichever you have.

    B speed isn't really that slow if all you're doing is browsing the web.

    That specific D-Link router supports Wireless-G, which would boost your current speed from 11Mbps to 54Mbps, regardless of if you have the specialized D-Link WiFi card.. If you want the 108Mbps you'll have to buy the card though.
