    i ordered T61 with the AGN wifi card.

    I would like to take full advantage of the card (N band)
    Does this wifi card supports N1 ?

    is it matter of drivers or hardware ?


    thank you,
    Dean.

    Yes, your card and those routers can utilize a "Draft-N" connection.

    Wireless-N isn't compatible with all Draft N routers. So, according to Intel's page:

    I'd get a router that is Centrino Certified. This model is Centrino Certified.
