However, all Draft-N certified products are compatible with the final specification so there's no need to worry. Some of them may just not support the highest data rates or something, but they should all work.	Agent_24 (57)

The std settings on the router will be that it accepts all types. So a N router will work a N card and at the same time with a B and G as well .... (like if you have a few diff computers diff aged). Win7 drivers or the card's drivers will just detect whatever the card is capable of.	Nomad (952)

In the router setting you can stipulate to just have a N series - so my G cards won't work . Maybe also just B or just G or a "mixture" which is the default . I even have a Windows 2000 running G off a N router :cool:	Nomad (952)

Therefore, Win7 tries to connect to the network with N but since the card cannot connect it throws up an error.	bot (15449)
