First, make sure that your institution allows for the use of wireless APs
inside the dorm rooms. If so, purchase either a standalone access point or a
wireless router. If you buy a wireless G AP or wireless router, it is more
than likely going to be backwards compatible. Most APs and Wireless G
routers are defaulted to accept both B & G signals.I recommend the Linksys
WRT54G or WRT54GC wireless router.
