    I am about to purchase 2 of these netbooks as Christmas gifts for my boys. Before I do I was wondering if someone could kindly confirm something for me regarding the wifi connection of this unit.

    At home I have a new BT Home Hub v2 wireless router running our network This is b/g/n capable. I understand it is backward compatible.
    Will the Aspire One be able to connect wirelessly to this BT router? I know that the Aspire only has a b/g wireless adapter but wanted to make sure that it also is compatible with a N capable router.
    The BT router can be set to just b/g mode without using the N capability.

    Many thanks in advance

    If the Home Hub supports b/g, then also supporting n shouldn't make any difference. If you think about it, why would BT launch a product that requires 90% of their customers to buy new wireless adapters? If it helps, I can see my near-neighbours home hub 2 on my network manager right now.
