They are two different protocols. Most (probably all) N routers and networks cards can also do G and probably B protocol. Anything labeled as G will only do G and in amlost all cases B.

N is faster than G (but you'd never notice the speed difference if you are just connecting to the internet, they are both way faster than a home internet connection.

N should, technically, have a bit longer range than G, but in real-life most people don't see a great deal of difference here.

How much does it cost for a wireless router?

Depends on which kind of wireless cards your are running. There is Wireless B/G and Wireless N. The b/g cost about $20 if you go to a retail store, but sometimes you can find them for around $5-$10 at second hand stores or sites like Craigslist.com. If you are running wireless N which is the newest one, then you are looking at $50+ at retail stores.


Is 802.11a compatible with 802.11b?

It depends entirely on when they were made. If it was within the year it came out then you probably have a 50/50 chance. Most of the older b ONLY devices probably not. The dual b/g may have a better chance of it being compatible as it was around that time so much better chance. The b/g/n capable should have it already built in.


To transmit and receive signals to and from multiple nodes in a three-story house what type of antenna should an access point use?

You should buy an omnidirectional antenna with a high gain (measured in dBi) if you have a wireless G or B router. If not, I recommend you to buy a wireless N router that comes with 3 antennas. It really increases your signal strength and range. You don't need to have a wireless N adapter to use it, as it supports the older modulations
