While it may "go to" 1Mbps, the chances are very high that youwill not get
that. That is under ideal conditions ( you being right under the access
point, etc). You will probably find just as bad, or worse conditions than
now.

Anyway, that was not your question. Assuming this wireless "modem" has an
ethernet port, your system should work the same as it does now. Ie, it
should make no difference. I am assuming that it is te modem that does the
negotiation with the AP for the right to associate (ppp? bridged?...)
You might also find that your address of that modem keeps changing which
means you would have to keep updating the info on your machine. But that
depends on how it is set up.

Fixed line is almost always more reliable than wireless. (eg everytime it rains
you might find your speed dropping to 50Mbps)
