Most of the time you're better buying a bigger antenna for your WRT54GL and positioning it well, as opposed to going for N-Wireless IMO. With wireless N, you can get as high as 50-60Mbps real performance, which is faster that the theoretical maximum of G. |

| 1213087 | 2011-06-29 08:21:00 | Sadly, in my experience I ave found linksys products to have a short wireless range, (might be why Chill suggested replacing the antenna) although they are feature packed. While I have heard and had a few problems with d-link with clients, I run a www.ascent.co.nz , its never missed a beat, super reliable, still connect at 180Mbps at the other end of the house, has nice features for online gaming, server access, remote access, pin holeing etc. Dual wireless networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Probably I worst I have dealt with has been belkin, I wouldnt recemmend one to anyone, good luck with selecting a new router blue. Thats my :2cents: worth. |

Absolutely, but considering most people just want to browse happily over it, and perhaps stream the odd HD movie, G-wireless is still a nice option for a lot of people right now. If they want to maximize speeds, then a bigger antenna and bumping the power output in the firmware is the way to go. Granted 802.11* is half-duplex and all connected clients share the bandwidth, but it's *still* fast enough for most home users :) |
