I have a customer that has a business on their location in a large shed on their property that's about 100ft from their house. Their internet connection is in this shed, they want to connect off that in the house via wireless. I installed a wireless belkin N standard router in the shed. I had gotten them a wireless N card for their laptop but it turns out the card won't work in the laptop. This particular belkin router can be configured as a bridge. The wireless adaptor in their laptop is either B or G, probably G. If i install another wireless router in their house set as a bridge, will the two routers use the N standard to connect to each other for the theoretical extended range and will the laptop in the house be then be able to connect to the bridge via G?

I guess i'm concerned that if the laptop isn't also using N that i'll run into a problem.
 
Yes and Yes, however there have been fairly widespread reports that N doesnt play well in environments where b/g is also used. It tends to cause a lot of interference. But also remember that wireless is half duplex and by bridging you are lowering your speed by quite a bit
 
At the moment this kind of installation has better chance with reliable 802.11g since there is more choice of devices.

The choice of Draft-N devices is limited to Wireless Routers and cards. There is very little to none options like Bridges and other devices.

Yeah i'm not concerned about the speed, it's a slower DSL connection and there is only one user and all she does is check email and browse a few sites. My biggest problem was making the distance because they had allready tried a G setup and it just didn't make it.
