Wireless CPU help!!!

From what I can tell the DI-614+ is 802.11b only. The 8600 appears to be 802.11g - translation: if i'm right this ain't gonna work no matter what.

There's two different protocol standards for wireless digital communication over the 2.4GHz broad spectrum. 802.11b is the old standard, 802.11g is the newer one. Most Network interface cards that are 802.11g will fall back to the older standard when it encounters an 802.11b router, but I guess that's not the case with his specific card.

802.11g cards can fall back to 802.11b, but his router is 802.11a, which is not compatible with either of the other two. You can get routers that do all three but you pay more and 802.11a didn't really catch on.
