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?

Thing is, that even if you update to Wireless N, xbox wireless is only G, and if you don't have an N card, you won't receive any of the benefit, except for increase range. Which, I can tell you, is barely worth it.

So -- Recap:

If you have a Wireless N card in your computer, get a Wireless N router.
If you have a Wireless G card in your computer, but have problems with range, not speed, get a Wireless N router.
Your XBox will go NO FASTER! Wirelessly because it can not connect to the N band on your Wireless N router. It will still connect to the router, because most times the router will broadcast both N and G bands.
