Wink BT Homehub v3 and an old Macbook compatibility question.

At the moment we have a Homehub v1.5 and because of the old, thick stone walls in our cottage I find that wifi connection to the hub (in a different room) on my old macbook OSX 10.4.11 is very poor. I solved this by using the solwise system.
After reading good reports (Which mag') about v3 of the hub I wondered if it would work with my macbook in a wifi mode rather than solwise. I know that the macbook works on the 802.11g adapter but the v3 is "n". Will my macbook work with this in wifi or will I still need to use the solwise connection to access t'internet ?
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers and thanks,

Brian

What you need to be concerned about with old kit is weather it can work with modern encryption rates / methods. Can the device connect ok to WPA2 PSK networks etc.
