If it is just wireless G, then paying extra for a G Plus card is silly because you won't get any greater speed or distance out of it. On the other hand, if it *is* a G Plus router, then the more expensive card should help. F5D7010 = Wireless G = 54Mbps F5D7011 = Wireless G Plus = "35% faster than standard 802.11g" so 1.35 X 54Mbps = 72.9 Mbps David At 11:02 AM 10/27/2006, Jim Poer wrote: >OK, that's good.
