    Will my Acer AspireOne AOA150 Support Wireless-N Technology 802.11n?

    How can I tell.... is there anyway to find out in Control Panel? Is there at test I can run?

    When I hover over the Wireless Connection Icon in the System Tray, it says I'm running at 54 Mbps... is that correct for Wireless-N? ...or is that correct for Wireless-G?

    Wireless G is 54mbps. If you want to find out if your current WiFi technology is Wireless-N capable, open your device manager and check out the details of the card in there. Under the cards "advanced" tab, there should be a selection for protocols. If Wireless N isn't listed, then you may only have an A/B/G card.

    The Acer Specs say it supports 802.11 B/G/Draft-N... but so far my findings are that it only supports G. I did find out that I can upgrade the card. Would you, or anybody else reading this, know anything about that, and maybe have a recomendation for what card to get?
