The used X24 I bought came with a Linksys Neetwork PC Card WPC11. I bought, but can return, a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router. Are these compatible? Should I (can I?) get a different model wirless PC card for the x24? I will only be using this for surfing, email, etc... so super high speeds for downloads may not be all that important. My other computer is a 6 year old Imac G3... so that might give you all an idea of where I am at. Thanks.

OK... nobody can help. How about which card is prefered for the x24? Which router? Info on this and above inquiry appreciated. Thanks.

What makes you think they might not be compatible? Wireless is a IEEE standard so as long as they at least do what they are supposed to do they should be compatible.

My total ignorance made me ask. Saw the numbers were different than newer edition and wondered if there woiuld be a problem. I am just learning about computers and seek help and info. Yours is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Everything you already have should work just fine together.

Now you'll have to find a friend to help configure everything optimallly.

Good luck.

The WRT54 is a G router (54 mps) and the WPC is a B card (11 mps). The router will automatically step down to the B speed. For no more than they go for on eBay, I'd get a G card. 11 mps is faster than a T1 line so you might not see a big improvement but it's a cheap and easy speed increase.

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure I'll have more questions about this laptop but so far so good. Thanks again.
