USB Wifi or PCI Adapter.
Well my router has a setting to accept all different types wireless devices as N/G/B would that make a difference and my wifi speeds aren't all that great only 5 mbps. So does it matter that one has a higher data transfer rate ?
If it's your internet speed that's 5mbps, it won't really be bottlenecked by Wireless G, but it's more of the transfer speed and latency between devices on your network that's heavily impacted by having it be G instead of N bandwidth.
Your router being N/G/B just means that it will accept connections by N, G, or B devices. However connecting a G or B device to the network will cause the network to no longer be N and turn to G or B, depending on what the slowest device uses.
I connected a PSP (Wireless B) to my WiFi today to download a patch, and oh my god my entire network slowed to a crawl (Wireless B is only 11mbps). Wireless G impact will be worse, but it's still recommended to use N if all your other devices are N.
