About this tag
The b/g tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about wireless network standards, specifically the choice between b/g and b/g/n modes on routers. Users ask which mode to select for compatibility and performance, often in the context of Windows 8.1 and ISP-provided gateways like Comcast Arris. Topics include whether b/g/n offers advanced features and what configuration changes are needed when switching modes. The tag reflects practical troubleshooting for home network settings.

    Windows 8 b/g or b/g/n

    Hello I have Win 8.1 and a Comcast Arris gateway. I only have the two choices so which should I use? Currently I have b/g but I thought n provided advanced features. If I change, do I have other changes to make so all is compatible? Thank you
