IEEE 802.11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11)

b and g are normally rolled together

n has been coming into existance.

Your library and most hotspots are likely b/g

Thanks for your reply

1. Just to clarify, if mine is "n", can i use it at the spots which are on "b" or "g"?

2. Is it true that n is better than b and g, in terms of speed?

n is better than b/g in terms of modulation, security, bandwidth uses and hence speed and other factors.

Usually if g is supported, b is. n, I believe, is still in draft. n hasn't replaced b or g yet in hotspots.
