B and G are backwards compatible with each other. However B devices operate at a speed of 11Mbps and G devices operate at a speed of 54Mbps and offer greater range. If you have a combination of a B and G device you will not get the greater speed and sometimes you will not get the greater range. So if you want the faster speed and range then get all G devices.

Speed, speed , speed. The B is slow, the G will hit 54bps which is still slow considering that hard wire hits 100 but certainly useable. If you have a B plus G router, just activate G unless you have the older B peripherals as there is no reason to lose any resouces on the older B mode.

G means 54mbit/s transfer rate corresponding the IEEE 802.11g standard. B is 11mbit/s IEEE 802.11b standard. D routers doesn't exist except they have been invented today ;-)
Both B + G routers can handle up to 253 computers and the B standard is compatible to the G standard and both run on the radio frequency 2.4 GHz.

Speed! Not distance!. 11 mbs vs 54 mbs

G is the newer standard, I think the range is farther and it is faster. I think N is coming out at the N of this year.
