802.11n WiFi standard
I just saw a news release on CNET that the 802.11n standard has been approved for WiFi use. My XPS M1330 notebook PC's WiFi is set up for only 802.11b/g. Can I upgrade my M1330 for 802.11n and how would this be done (i.e., installation of new WiFi card, software download, etc)? Thanks much for your attention and any suggestions.

paradoxguy,
You can get a wireless N card for your laptop. It will work fast on a wireless n network. You will see no difference if your wireless router is wireless G. It's alway nice to keep the same name brand adapters and wireless routers but not necessary. The wireless cards come with software that installed usually first before the card is attached. Search the internet for what you're interested in and amke sure it's compatable with your computer. My computer has a 5100 half mini card(n) but my wireless router is onlt a G, so I see no difference until I upgrade the wireless router to N when this one dies.
