Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a notebook with 802.11n wifi card because it has longer range. But my university has 802.11 g network. Will I see a improvement in range using a 802.11n card over a 802.11g card?
Thanks in advance.

No, you won't.

Yea, you definitely won't. Although, your school probably has campus-wide wireless, so range shouldn't be an issue.
You can always get an n router and use the hardwired connection in your dorm to the router. -
I have a Intel Wireless N card in my XPS M1530, and I only have used it on a Wireless G network so far. I went with the N card for the future. If it's not much more you might want to do the same. If there's a big difference then stick with the cheaper G card.

Pretty sure most universities are using the G network. Are people using N networks more at home and work now? I am also considering the N network card (30$) upgrade. Is it worth it? I plan to keep my lenovo for at least 3 years.

It is worth it as long as you match the N nic with a N router.
Wifi N performance on G network
