    I have a 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM) card in my computer. I was wondering what the Speedbooster does, and if it enables me to get the 108Mbps out of a Super G router or if Im stuck at 54Mbps?

    yes you have to have a Router w/ Speedbooster to be able to utilize your Wireless PCI card w/ Speedbooster.

    On mine I connect between 108 and 125. I don't think I really get that, but it seems faster than the regular wireless g card.

    If you don't have a router w/ Speedbooster, yea you'll be stuck at 54Mbps.

    ??? ... the only company that offers Speedbooster is Linksys.

    Why don't you check out the linksys.com website.

    BTW, where are you coming up with Super G and Extreme G?
