Hi all,
Have a question regarding routers and laptop wireless. I have an ASUS X52F-X2 Laptop with an integrated 802.11n Wireless LAN and Windows 7 Home Premium 64.

I also have a Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless broadband router up to 54Mbps/ Compatible with Open source DD-WRT (not pre-load).

My question:
Is the Laptop 802.11n Wireless LAN backward compatible with the Linksys 802.11b/g ?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
