Belkin wireless G Router.

Could I please have some advice. I am hoping to get a laptop in the near future and any money I can save on the router can increase my spending on the laptop. . I am currently on 4MB BB and should be increased to 10MB some time this century. My main computer will still be in use and I am proposing to go wireless with the laptop.

I have a Belkin wireless G router stuffed in the back of a cupboard, a leftover from when my son lived at home and our 2 computers were running from the same BB connection.

1st question...The system requirements on the box only go from Windows 98SE to XP. It seems that all the laptops I look at now have Vista installed and I was wondering if the Belkin will be able to deal with this?

2nd question... If it can handle Vista will it be able to handle 10MB? I don't know if this is relevant but it says on the box
Interoperable with: 204GHz Band{11 Mbps and 54 Mbps
Ports
  • 4-10/100Base-Tx auto-sensing and auto-uplink RJ45 ports(LAN)
  • 1-10/100Base-TxRJ45 port,(WAN)

I have really tried to google the answers but the sites I have found loose me after the first paragraph.....OK I'll come clean, they loose me after the first sentence...
