Hello,

I bought a brand new HP laptop yesterday and I would like to know how to switch from the 802.11g network to the 802.11n network. The laptop is running Vista home premium and is connecting through an Apple Extreme Airport base station. I am currently connect via 802.11g according to the wireless connection but I would like to UTILIZE the newer and faster network. So I would appreciate if anyone can tell me how to change it.

Does anyone know how to help me with this issue?Dear Brittany, the 802.11n standard is very-very-very buggy, I did not heard to be a final solution, it is still under work before being agreed by manufacturers.
Still, if you want to switch from 802.11g to 802.11n, you will have to buy a router or access point that SUPPORTS the 802.11n standard, and FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER you will have to buy wireless network ADAPTERS that support the 802.11n standard. If you care about your satisfaction (and money), do not switch to 802.11n. Yet. Maybe later. But definitely not now. (Though I might be wrong... Let's hear someone ELSE opinions.)Yeah I'd stay away from 802.11n for time being as well. The standard is still under development and not scheduled for final release before March 2009.

If you really want to use it, do as Viking suggests and get a wireless AP/router and a wireless network card from the same manufacturer in ORDER to minimize potential problems.
