Sort of. Almost all Wireless N routers support the G protocol aswell, so will be compatible with these devices. Whether they benefit from the extra range, I do not know.

No. But if the wireless router is N, then it should downgrade to G when needed. It's automatic but the speed and signal is not as good.


Can you use a 802.11 b with a wireless n or g card adapter?

As far as I understand it, 802.11g will work in a backwards compatible nature with 802.11b. Further, if an 802.11n device can be made to run in a 802.11g 'mode' then it should be able to work with an 802.11b device. The primary difference between 802.11g and 802.11n devices is maximum speed and resistance to interference from other wireless devices like cell phones. Most users will find 802.11g and 802.11n devices comparably sufficient provided the other connecting hardware is compatible (see note about 802.11g being backwards compatible with 802.11b above).


Are 802.11A and 802.11N compatible?

No, they are not. But many wireless adapters of N-type can work with A-type networks as well.
