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? -------------------- |

The only problem with my PS3 (using 802.11g router) is that huuuuuuge things like system updates refuse to download, I have to wire it straight to the modem for that. The wired PC is always off, but my laptop is always on and another laptop sometimes is as well, so that kills online play.
