Finally, depending on the strength of the wireless signal or if there are any interference, you may not get the 100Mbps advertised.

I recommend you looking in to a wireless Power line solution by Linksys.
All you need to do is plug the modem in to the source power line hub.
Plug any additional wireless hub in rooms of your house.
This will ensure 100% signal where ever you go.

Thanks
The modem/router combo I bought advertises up to 340Mbps download speed. it also says up to 300 + 300Mbps, assuming that's for each band. I know i'll never get that much, or ever need that much, but I over bought since I figured it's better to have too much than not enough. lol It's also DOCSIS 3.0 and 802.11n. From all the reviews, it seemed like a good purchase.

As for the wireless computer and not being A/B/G, i'm not sure what that means. The wireless card in my dell is an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth 4.0, if that helps.
