wireless n mini card with wireless g router

my question is will a wireless n mini card in my laptop take advantage of a wireless n router by findiing its signal from alot further?

 

In the subject you say you have a wireless G router and in your text you says a wireless N router. Which is it?

So here's all my responses despening on which you have

-The N card will only work with a G router if it is able to pick up G signals.
-The N card (if able to pick up G signals) will not be enhanced in any way if you are using a G router.

-The card is not responsible for the range of a wireless network. The router is. Wireless N's benefit is that it can transfer more Mb/s than wireless G. So, if you want improved range, buy a router able to transmit further.

 

no what i was asking is if: i have a wireless g router already set up, and my laptop has a wireless n card in it, will the n card get a signal from farther away than if i had a wireless g card in it?i realize it wont be faster unless the router is wireless n, but all i want to know is if it will be able to get a signal from farther away.

 

As I said it's all about the routers transmision range. Look for the highest range and biggest antennas when buying it.

 

i have a wireless G router and my laptop has a wireless N card.

First things first, the range is determined by the router antennae as mentioned. However, my N card tends to be able to receive better and cxn tends to be more stable.

Because my room is relatively far and blocked from direct wireless line of sight (LOS) transmission, my previous G card (intel 2195) tends to break connection. My test was that it is the proximity of my room and the fact that I do not have line of sight with the router. (walls are not good medium for wireless transmissions). No connection issues when i am next to the router, of course...

with N card, i seem to get more stable reads and connections. Also, transmission speed tends to stay at the maximum G speed of 54mbps forever. With my previous G card, short of being disconnected, my speed varies around 36.0, 48.0 and 54.

However, I think the intel 3945ABG can read quite well too, with performance of a 4965AGN in a G router setting.

in short, you dun get improved range. But within the acceptable range of G router, I am quite certain you will get better receptions and more stable connections with an N card compared to an older G card, especially if your room is far from router and do not have LOS.
