wireless router?

i would like to connect a wireless router to my modem ... i've been told that it would be pointless to get a wireless-n if my card on my laptop is a wireless-g .. i don't know what my card is .. it is the one that came with my laptop .. which is a toshiba satellite .. a 55 model .. how can i figure out what kind i have .. it's not in the paperwork anywhere also .. i was wondering if i just get a regular wireless-g router .. will i still be able to watch movies online .. on netflix .. and i am thinking of playing some games online .. thanks

  1. get the n and yes you can watch movies online
  2. Your machine probably has a Wireless-G network card. Get the Wireless-G. And yes, you will be able to watch movies via Netflix. Games will work just fine. Have fun.
  3. If you don't want to think about it, search for 'wireless router bgn' on the internet. You can get a router compatible with all three standards so it is not an problem. The issue for netflix and games is not whether it is g or some other standard; it is simply whether or not your connection through your router works. And if it works, then you can do those things; although you would be better off for live games to play through a computer with a direct Internet connection to minimize lag.
  4. Get the wireless-G and yea ya can watch ur movies and play ur games enjoy!!
