Supported Wireless Card Bands
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: matt.modica
I was wondering if there was any way to find out what bands my wireless card supports because I was thinking of getting a dual band wireless router. I downloaded a program that said it supported the a band as well as the b/g bands, but I wanted to be sure. It is a Broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter. I know it supports the b band, however, because my current (and old) router is using the b band. Everest and Sandra to not provide the details.

if the card is listed as g then 99% chance it is b/g compliant
otherwise the manual for the card - available from the manufacturer's website - would most definitely tell you a/b/g and the card should advertise that in device manager.
Check manu website manual

Could you look on the website of the manufacturer, if you could find the model or SN? If it's a mini-PCI card, you might even be able to physically look at it ... (if it's a laptop) otherwise, check the card, see what you can find. Often times they will say right on the card.

Here are two pictures of programs on my computer, Everest and PC wizard. Each say something different.

I would do as Zakir suggests. Thanks for the pics. They helped me test a feature in IE 7 in Vista build 5342 to see if it works properly! But as you point out, they somewhat list not quite similar features.

Its an internal card, but I wil check with more programs for the model number.

Well, I finally got tired of programs disagreeing with eachother, so I just opened up lappy. The wireless card was right next to the RAM. It said it was a BCM4318, which is this:

According to the site, still dual band. It was mini PCI, so I could always change it.
