I've got a netgear router that i've had for a few years, pretty standard one, 802.11g i think........
My question is, is it worth upgrading to a faster 802.11n router? I'm on 10MB cable broadband, which does run consistently at 10mb when wired, and i run the PS3, a laptop, and the iphone occasionally..... Would it make the wireless noticeably faster? Or is there no point with only a 10MB connection? -------------------- |

Your network is only as fast as your slowest hardware.
If your router is capable of say 50mb , but your broadband speed is limited to 10mb, then no matter what router you have, you will be limited to 10mb. I'd say upgrade your plan and then buy a new router, that will help a lot. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
