I have a wireless router 802.11 b/g/n. and will be buying  new laptop that uses a 802.11 a/c connection . Will it still work or will i need to upgrade router as well.  Advert for laptop is as follows:-

 

Ultrafast Connection Speeds

 

With blazing-fast 802.11 a/c WiFi plus Bluetooth® connectivity, you'll be able to connect to the internet wherever you go.802.11 a/c WiFi delivers up to 3 times the connection speeds of 802.11 b/g/n.

 

Thanks in advance

802.11ac is backwards compatible with 802.11b, g, n, you will just not get the maximum benefits when connected to any 802.11 b, g, n router.

 

Hope this answers your question.
