N-Router recommendations?
Most of our family laptops now support the N protocol, and coverage is weak on the G band in some parts of the house. Any strong recommendations for a new router? Fast and reliable are my main criteria. Thanks, -- Andrew Hall (Now reading Usenet in alt.sys.pc-clone.dell...) |

You will not see any real difference for your money between the two. |

You will not see any real difference for your money between the two. True for the outside internet connection, not true for intranet file copying. I have gigabit pulled through most of the house, and when "home" the computers are wired in. But the kids move from room to room, and they copy files to each other. Plus I have set up SyncBack to backup their documents and emails to other in-house computers. Hence I think it is now worth it to upgrade to an "N" enabled router. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks, -- Andrew Hall (Now reading Usenet in alt.sys.pc-clone.dell...) |

No, as the part of my post you snipped made clear. Editing is standard Usenet procedure to save bandwidth and to hone in on the subject of a comment or question. In this case, a poster commented that wired connections woud be fastest. What other parts of your reply made it clear that you agreed or disagreed with that? Specifically, the phrase "not true for intranet file copying". You wrote: --------------------------------------- True for the outside internet connection, not true for intranet file copying.

I have gigabit pulled through most of the house, and when "home" the computers are wired in. Right here is one hint. But the kids move from room to room, and they copy files to each other. Here is the 2nd. Clearly the extra wireless speed is desired when their computers are not "home" and wired into the LAN. Plus I have set up SyncBack to backup their documents and emails to other in-house computers. Hence I think it is now worth it to upgrade to an "N" enabled router. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Does anyone have any recommendations?
