802.11ac laptop compatbility

Solution
Lots of bad answers here. If your laptop complies with the ac wireless standard, it will also comply with all previous wireless standards such as b/g/n. Backwards compatibility is a requirement of the ac wireless standard. So, yes, when you are traveling with your ac laptop, you will be able to pick up signals from routers that are broadcasting in b, g, n, or ac.
