    Hi, it maybe a silly question, but can my Netgear wireless adapter MA401 802.11b do 802.11g?
    The reason I'm asking this is because I am going to buy a new wireless router 802.11g from Netgear, and newegg offer a $40 off if I buy a combo of wireless adapter, but I have a friend who claimed that this MA401 can go .11g
    Thank you

    Nope, it looks to only be B. If you don't want to get a new adapter, you don't have to; G is backwards compatible with B. (a G router can talk to a B adapter)
