Yeah, but the one linked to was a G.b. G.b is 11 meg. High end G does have 54. But not neccesarily and cheaper than N which is more standard.

I went with N for this most recent router and have been thrilled with it. It was future-proofing at the time, but since then both of our computers are N capable, so we really see the difference in file transfers. Not applicable with broadband because we're on the cel phone modem.

Regular 802.11g is 54 Mbps. A router capable of both 802.11g and 802.11b can still support full speed on 802.11g devices. There are some non-standard G devices that say that can do 108Mbps. At a similar price though I'd say an 802.11n device is definitely the way to go, though you might want to go with dual-band if you are going to mix 802.11g and 802.11n devices on the same network.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It looks like the thing in my computer is 802.11b/g -- should I still get n?

Most N will be backwards compatible, but you won`t see the benefit now. It only matters for futureproofing then.

Since I am interested in buying something cheap anyway, I won't worry about it working with my future computer, then!
THANKS YOU GUYS. I know I only come here with questions I should be able to figure out myself, but I am easily overwhelmed.

So I`m on my phone. This is all new territory for me, phone luddite because FEAR. But now I don`t have to talk on my phone so win. But a) why can`t I see blockquote formatting? and more irritatingly, b) why can`t I enter paragraph breaks? I`m textually verbose, y`all, you want me to have paragraph breaks.

Hee. And also obviously I can't get rid of the smart apostrophes. Hmm.
It's an LG ENV3, omnis. Not a smartphone, just a wannabe, but it's a big step up for me. Of course, Droid was available when I went in, and with Verizon's proprietary junk I wish I'd gone that direction instead. Just can't afford the extra required data plan.

I have no base of reference to help you with that one. Good luck.
