multi-mode wireless router?

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

hi,

are any wireless routers 802.11B and G?

i am putting in a wireless net at home. if i put in an 802.11G
network and then take a laptop to a hotel it will probably still be an
802.11B network and i won't be able to connect.

is the only solution to have 802.11G cards for at home and 802.11B
cards for travel until G takes over?

thanks

Supposedly.

My Belkin F5D7230-4 will only work in "B" mode with a couple of Belkin
USB adapters I have. It also works with a mini-PCI "G" card in my
laptop.

What it -won't- work with in "B" mode is a Seimens PCMCIA card, a USR
PCMCIA card, or a Syntax wireless USB adapter. I had to keep my old
D-Link 714 just so I could use these.
