If I have a 54Mps wireless cards, can I connect to 108Mbps Wireless Router?
Or I must use 108Mbps wireless cards in order to connect to 108Mbps Wireless Router (must be the same)?

As per the standards you can use any wireless router with any wireless card, only thing you need to check is what kind of wireless signal your router can provide and what signal your card can receive. How ever as of I know all routers and cards has backward compatibility, and you need to make sure your router is not configured to send only particular type of signal. So in your situation you can connect to your router.

Get the g and save $, especially if your router is a 54g. The speed is maximum/peak transfer rate anyways.
There is no future proof on wireless device - demand on high bandwidth transfer like streaming HD video has already put all my wireless network devices to obsolete.

54Mbs is almost a standard transfer rate for wireless routers. If you want the Super G (108Mbs), you'll need a wireless router and a wireless adapter that both suppoort Super G.
I don't believeit has to be the same company, i think as long as both support Super G, you can get up to 108Mbs.
FYI, just because a router and adapter is rated for 54Mbs or 108Mbs or even 300Mbs, you won't get those theoretical top speeds.
