My old laptop, a HP, has 802.11b wireless. Will an 802.11g wireless adapter work with the computer? I would like to know because I need a laptop with 802.11g network card to get wireless internet. My Mac has 802.11g network card, but I would like to take the HP.

Why do you need 802.11G "to get wireless internet"? The 802.11G is backward compatible with 802.11B, and an 802.11B adapter will work with an 802.11G access point. Meaning...the old laptop with the 802.11B adapter will work on any "G" network.

Your wireless router should backward compatible to existing 802.11b. There is no reason to purchase a new 802.11g wireless adapter unless the signal of your existing 802.11b is weak and you want to purchase a new 802.11g wireless adapter which has the range booster capability.

Yes, it should work as long as your computer meets the minimum system requirements of the adapter. Those should be listed on the retail box or the manufacturers website. What you will have to do is go into your laptops bios and disable the built in wireless so that they do not conflict. If you can't disable it in your system bios you can do it in the windows control panel.

Yes, it should be 802.11g compatible. However, you probably will not be able to find an internal card for that laptop. You will need to ge with either one that fits in the PCMCIA card slot, or that plugs into the USB port.
