I currently have a wireless G adapter. (Netgear WG111)

On the box of the Wireless N card it says 'faster' or something similar. Does this mean the WN111 will give me a better ping in gaming?

I currently get get stable 1.8mbps downloads with my WG111 and Sky unlimited connection. What are the Wireless N adapters and other ones like?
 
the only differences between them are different max-throughput ratings and different maximum ranges.

the differences are as thus:
Wireless A = 54Mb/s (uses 5GHz band!) (normally only used in corporate situations) (1/3rd the range of Wireless B)
Wireless B = 11Mb/s (uses 2.4GHz band)
Wireless G = 54Mb/s (uses 2.4GHz band) this is the standard wireless.
Wireless G+Mimo = 108Mb/s (uses multiplexed 2.4GHz bands to double maximum throuput) (roughly 3/4 range of wireless G)
Wireless N = between 130 and 300Mb/s (uses multiplexed 2.4GHz or rarely, 5GHz bands) (roughly double the range of Wireless G)

wireless n is a lot faster than wireless g i would the you the speeds but i can't remember them!
 
It won't make any difference to your ping times. That is determined by the route the IP packets take around your ISPs network out to the server you are connected to. A change of local router will not affect that
 
I have a WG111 connected to a Sky router. Would getting a WN111 make it much better? I'm getting high download rate and stable at the moment but need to connect an ethernet cable to be able to play games with a decent ping.
 
Unless I am very much mistaken, you aren't even close to maxing out your current WiFi connection. Doubling it or more isn't going to change anything.
