Netgear's access point will only speed up Netgear cards. It does this by
basically bonding two channels to double the effective bandwidth, but the
bonding mechanism is proprietary to each vendor afaik.
If you know you can control all the parts, and don't mind the little bit
extra in costs, then it won't hurt. And if you get a laptop or something
with a g card built in, it will just run at the regular g speeds.
I've also noticed, at least with Netgear's, that their accelerated
wap/router offers more robust features like stateful packet inspection.
