Quick question for you wireless gurus -
My cousin is sharing a connection with her neighbor across the hall (through 4 old, thick walls). She connects to her neighbor's wireless G router with her integrated b/g adapter in her laptop. Due to the density of the walls and the distance to the router, she's having signal strength issues. I'm a bit of a newcomer to 802.11n, and I was wondering:
Would a wireless N usb adapter for her laptop help? or would the extended range only be applicable to an N signal? I'm aware that they're backwards compatible, but I have no idea if that means it still gets better reception for a G signal.
Thanks.
