Is this what I need for my house?

So I just got a new computer. We used to have wireless-g cable but now my new computer has vista. The only vista compatable internet is running Wireless-N.

We have 3 computers in the house and my computer is the one with the router while my brother's and dad's have adapters for wireless.

So in all we need one new Wireless N-Router for my computer. Two wireless N adapters that connect can read from my router. I'm pretty sure the N router will still work even though my brother and dad have windows XP (or am I wrong?)

If I am wrong tell me please! Or is this right? i'm going use linksys since i'm used to it.

 

what you say is pointless....
"The only vista compatable internet is running Wireless-N. "
who told you this?

 

You do not need to replace the current router. Your new NB will run in 11g mode too. And since 11n is still draft, there are a lot of problems running in mixed mode with a non dual band/radio router. There are just a few routers that have 2 radios ( 11g 2.4ghz and 11n/1 5ghz) so there is no delays while in mixed mode and these are still buggy.

 

xirug you didnt' even answer my question.
@blue68 it's a desktop so basically I wont need to upgrade, all I will need is to just buy another wireless adapter for my brothers computer? and then all 3 of us will be connected?

 

i have no idea what you're talking about, but you need a wireless router. the computers that don't have actual wires needs wireless cards.

you need to brush up on your terminology or stop posting drunk.

 

It is saint patricks day? I started my morning out right

I'm going to have a crack at this one, because I'm a patient and very kindly old duffer.

" So I just got a new computer. We used to have wireless-g cable but now my new computer has vista. The only vista compatable internet is running Wireless-N."

That's a helluva paragraph. A computer will connect to an A, B, G, or draft N WLAN using XP or Vista, the wireless chipset deals with the wireless mode, not the OS. So far I see no need for a new router.

" We have 3 computers in the house and my computer is the one with the router while my brother's and dad's have adapters for wireless."

A router is a stand-alone item, not a peripheral. I take it that your PC is connected to it via cable, and the others wirelessly? I still see no need for a new router.

" So in all we need one new Wireless N-Router for my computer. Two wireless N adapters that connect can read from my router. I'm pretty sure the N router will still work even though my brother and dad have windows XP (or am I wrong?)

As I understand the situation you do not need a new router. You should just be able to plug the network cable into the new PC, and your brother and dad can carry on as they are. Tell me what I am missing!

 

Blitz, please repost your original post... Most of us can't understand what you are trying to say. Go slow and take it one step at a time and tell us your configuration and what you are thinking about doing.

 

There's your answer! You already have wireless G in your house, so you do not need anything else. Even with the new laptop that has Vista, you can just connect to the old wireless-g setup you have and be done with it. You don't need a new router, you don't need anything else.
