802.11Super-G or 802.11N?

Post by Kills On Site »

Right now I have a wireless Microsoft 802.11B router with USB adapters and I am feeling it is close to replacing it so I was wondering should I get Netgear WGT624 108MBps Router with Netgear WG311T 108 MBps PCI adapter or should I wait for 802.11N to come out. I have seen the Belkin "Pre-N" but don't want to buy that as 802.11N might change and having that would leave me SoL. Which would be the best option?

Also I have anywhere from 3-5 computers on my network and only plan to have 2 on the new router in the begining, I plan to use the Microsoft router for the remaining, non bandwidth intensive, computers and hook the Microsoft router into one of the new router's hardwire ports. I know this seems redunant, but it saves some upfront cash. Also I have an X-Box that I need to keep hardwired to the new router.

I take it you mean cancer, well the MS router, when replaced, will hardly be used, that is why it seems more cost effective then spending 50 bucks for adapters hardly used

i havent heard to much on any of the new/upcomming 802.11's...

so, im not sure how far they are away, or if it would be worth it to wait..

i would just get that 802.11G router and that way you know the 802.11B Cards will work.

There's also that new Linksys MIMO router. Haven't read up on it that much but looks interesting.
