Worth upgrading to wireless-N??

StevieP · 8 Nov 2008 at 15:46

I currently have the Linksys WAG54GS with speedbooster and associated usb adaptor and I've been considering an upgrade to this:

Linksys WAG160N ADSL Wireless-N Modem Router & USB Adapter

My question is, will I benefit from the wireless-N connection? I use it simply for the internet, for which I get about a 6mb connection.

Will I get any improvement in performance do you think??

Thanks....

Not really. Do you transfer large files across your network?

No, not very often!

Damn, was looking forward to having an excuse to get some new kit!!

that was the only reason i upgraded to "N" was to improve media streaming - makes no difference really to internet/download useage or speeds

If you don't get very good signal strength then you could always use that as an excuse to upgrade!
