I have a wireless g router hooked to 6MBPS cable internet. &nbsp;Everyone is telling me I should upgrade the router to a wireless N and get the xbox wireless N network adapter. &nbsp;They tell me if I stick with the wirless G router, I'll experience lag when playing games in xbox live.<br />
<br />
My question is, if the wireless G is 54MBPS to the XBOX and only 6MBPS to the internet, why would upping to an N router which would be 108MBPS to the XBOX but still only be at 6MBPS to the internet make a difference with lag? &nbsp;Is it really necessary or will the G router I have work just fine?

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
