Wireless Internet G and N Types
When you put in place a N type router and have laptops with G type receivers, does this setup actually do any better than a G type router could do ?
ASKER
explain this official versus draft version stuff ???

i was thinking about buying the one that Linksys just put out... or at least , i just saw on shelves.... is this not a true N router? ???

In general , here is my situation. I have laptops with G internal receivers and I need more range.
I have tried Linksys G MIMO with only about a 20% increase in signal strength over equal differences compared to plain old G types.
I need better signal per same ranges... I am willing to try N types but I am getting the feeling they are all a lot different.
The Belkin "pre" N type got much higher reviews than the linksys "draft" version.
I am looking for the best possible solution , brand and type to max out my range

ok.....stay away from Belkin...
lots of problems here at EE
Linksys & Netgear are better.
If signal strength is your concern. then consider WAP (Wireless Access Points).

Have you tried higher Gain antennas? Linksys has them for their routers on their site. Also, 3rd party firmware will let you increase radio signal strength - check out http://www.linksysinfo.org.

N/G router would work the best.
and to answer your question..it wll work better as for performance.
