#459345 - 04/24/05 04:39 AM Wireless Network Question [Re: ]
krusher117 Registered: 05/30/04 Posts: 1016	I have always been told that an 802.11b client connected to an 802.11g base station will slow the entire network down to 802.11b speeds. Is this true? The reason I ask is because the PowerMac I'm getting is 802.11g and I was wondering if there's any point to upgrade my wireless when the other 3 computers in the house are 802.11b

I'd imagine it's like switching from 10 to 100 or even 1000 for a router, except it's between 802.11b and 802.11g.
