Default A quick question on 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking

Hejust wondering whether i can connect to 802.11g networks with my Orinoco Gold 802.11b

I see that 802.11b has a transfer rate of 11mb/ps, and the 802.11g has a transfer rate of 54mb/ps

With this knowledge would i be right saying i CAN connect to 802.11g networks with my 802.11b card, but with a maximum transfer rate of 11mb/ps?

Thanks for reading

Welcome to the forum, even though I've hardly got any posts myself. But yes, 802.11g is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b hardware. Depending on what you use your network for, it might be worth upgrading to 802.11g or n but if it's just basic net useage on a laptop or second pc and not online games or anything then b is fine.
