What wireless usb adapter

Guest2 · 19 Sep 2009 at 23:07

At the moment i have a Netgear WG111. It works great but i need another for a laptop in our house. Is it worth getting a WN111 for a few quid more (will be buying second hand) or just get another WG111?

We have Sky Max

the WN111 likes to overheat a bit sometimes. If you're only using it for the internet G speed is fine.

I use WG on my computer and do a bit of gaming, do you think gaming would be effected by my WG adapter?

The only fly in the ointment is that if you associate a G adapter with an N router (and it doesn't do dual band) you'll see a drop in speed with every client.

AFAIK it only does G, so you wouldn't gain anything from the N adapter.
