i have a laptop with a wireless card. it's a/g. ok. i get a connection at my friends house (long story) but i don't know if it's a or g. how do i tell?
 
The wireless utility you use might tell you. You could also ask your friend what type of router he has. Or go look at it.

Out of curiosity, why does it matter? 😛
 
well i sorta wanna use his internet...and he doesn't care. i also get other connections besides his but they aren't as strong :\. i just wanted to know if they (including my friend) use a or g bc then i will buya wireless card for my desktop. my regular cable has all this security stuff that got put on it and my parents think that changing anything at all means breaking it...

When I use b it sound like Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

When I use g it sound like Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

LOL.

New entry to the Webster Dictionary.😉

Friend = A person that is computer ignorant and does not detect when his Wireless network is Leeched upon.

:sun:

 
i asked him. he's got g...but i still want to know what my neighbors use.

and yea he knows nothing about computers, especially since all i had to do was "search for available wireless networks" to find his connection 😉
 
u did hear about that guy in florida that was prosecuted for poaching someone's wifi right? Just a heads up to ya....
