Hi all.
I am thinking about getting a new router for a bit more range in the house.
The one I have at the moment is up in the attic, but downstairs in the living room, the laptop is a bit slow due to a weak signal.
At the moment I have a Sitecomm router with the 802.11g standard.
The one I have seen is a Netgear WRN834B 802.11n router.
Reading about it, it is supposed to have a greater range (even if it only increases the range by another 5 metres, it will be enough), faster throughput, and a bit more secure as there are not as many people who use the "n" frequencies.
My laptop is compatable as it supports 802.11n as well as 802.11g, etc.
Would it be any good?
