WiFi Expert - 802.11b/g, and use a 802.11n Also

[gaz_0001]

Hi,

Any WiFi experts out there? I have a question.

I have Cable broadband, which it FTTS, then Coax to my apartment. I am in France, and the provider is Numericable.

My Wireless Router and Modem are one combined unit, they are not seperate. But the issue is, that the wifi from this unit is crap. The built in modem is 802.11b/g only, not 802.11 n.

When i am wired to the modem/router i get 80mb. When wireless i get 21mb, which is pretty much the 802.11g maxiumum speed.

So i am thinking, that if i buy a 802.11n router, i can connect my Providers router via cable to the WAN port of the new one, and then transmit my internet from the 802.11n router at a decent rate.

Will this work, or is the theory flawed?

Cheers

Yes exactly. The ISP's Modem/Router Combo, cabled to a decent Router 802.11n. The turn off the wifi from the ISP's Modem/Router Combo (Which is possible via the menu), and just transmit using the new router.

Do i need anything special?

I want something small.

Will this do the job?
