Not sure why it'd load the internet faster, since 54Mbps is way faster than any internet service can even provide. Even an 802.11A is probably capable of handling a 1Mb connection to the net.

I haven't gone with N yet because I heard there hasn't been a standard set yet, and its possible that different Companies' products might not be compatible with others.

Can you set her's to still connect with G, or is just one or the other?

exactly

Is the N router supposed to just see wired and othe N wireless devices, or can it let G's connect too? This might be the issue with the xbox and other pc

I thought the proper N signing was put back to 2007 now? Thought all the ones out now were draft-N, and one review I read a couple of weeks ago (of 3 or 4 different routers) slagged them off a bit and essentially said when it sped up it was pretty good, but the vast majority of the time they were a fair bit slower than the same companies "super-G" versions. Plus they were nowhere near as good with the coverage.

Sounds good though if it's all been sorted quickly. I was really hoping on setting up one of those routers that had like dual N so could achieve something like 600-700mbits or somesuch. Ah yes the sweet smell of true high def over a wireless network. And the sweet sounds of every other wireless system in the neighborhood getting trashed because of it (apparently). Heh

And unless you have amazing internet (ie. faster than at least B and if we are going for a fairly standard G then internet would have to be faster than 54mbits) then shouldn't have noticed much of a speed up. Unless of course your old router was a bit of a duffer or the new one just happens to be a lot better made. Or you also upgraded your computers while you were at it.

Cheers

both, lol the old one sucked horribley and this one is pretty good.

and this really sucks: everything in my house is breaking. first our modem starts to mess up, and we didnt have internet for about 2 hours(and its still really dodgy at the moment) so we have to get a new one. then my moms car wouldn't start. had to get that fixed too. my family is wondering how many things can go wrong in one day
