  • The N protocol has a longer range than either of its own predecessors. B and G had an effective, unobstructed range of about 100 feet. N supposedly has a range of nearly 700 feet though in practice I've not achieved anywhere near that. Most N routers also have two aerials, allowing them to transmit a dual signal, which can give much faster reception rates on appropriate network cards. My Linksys wireless N router currently is on the second floor of the house, and actually serves machines two properties away, so it's still a good distance. All N routers have backwards compatibility with B and G so existing network cards and laptops will work fine with them, but if you have rangeboosted and speedboosted N equipment you will see a noticeable difference.
  • AFTER I INSTALLED THE G ROUTER, MY LIVE NETFLEX KEPT FREEZING ON AND ON. SHOULD I CHANGE TO THE N ROUTER? THANKS
  • I agree with Wild cat but I would like to add to it. there are also more services available with wireless N than Wireless G. like live music streaming and much more. Look on the back of the box of certain wireless G and N routers to see what I mean. some boxer compare all routers at once.
  • This is a Question! and I don't know.
