802.11N is the fastest, followed by G, and B is the slowest. Surprisingly, there is also an A version of the standard, which is faster than B, but it's range is very limited (it can not go very far). The G and N equipment are backward compliant so it will establish the fastest connection possible. To use N technology, you need both a router that supports N and your laptop would need a N adapter. Check to see if both support N wireless. N has not been out many years, your adapter may only support G.
