Who cares? It's not like your net connection is even as fast as g, and probably not even b.

Better coverage?

This basically.

There is coverage improvement, but the coverage of g is like 38m, so i highly doubt a lot of people if any have their 360 38metres away in a direct line from their router.

Surely this is better for wireless streaming of HD stuff locally though?

Even using N draft stuff I've had issues streaming HD content. Get a wire in there and job done!

You do make a valid point though Nismo.

Bleh, wireless :eek:

Haven't touched wireless since I discovered the joy of PLC adapters.

Hate to think how much Microsoft are going to charge for this adapter given their track record of exorbitant peripheral costs.
