No, the wireless routers all use the same frequency range.  802.11B is the
standard and any 802.11B router will talk with any 802.11B wireless card; they
work near 2.4GHz.

My DLink DI614+ works at 11MBPS with other wireless cards, but if you get the
matching DLink AirPlus interface, it will run at up to 22MBPS.

Could linksys be using 18 gigahertz or something? that
why it doesn't go through walls well?
