Wireless router question........ Options

[manphibian]

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?

What Matt said. Your internet connection is your bottleneck, and switching up the router won't speed that up.

However, having a 802.11n router and other n-capable hardware on your intranet you will see benefits, but most people arent running and transferring big files between multiple wireless systems on their intranet, so again I find no need.

I would say wait a year or so until they standardize 802.11ac and then upgrade.
