Answer 1

Depends on how far you wish to go. If you use the N router and your laptop or desktop is using B/G card it will only use B/G speed on the computer. You will have to get a N card to get the full effect of the router. I have G+ w/Speedboost but I have mine wired to outside (old TV antenna) and I can see my signal 1 bar over 1mile way. I have connected with my laptop over 3000ft from my house and thats with 3-4bars out of 5 (full strength)..Thanks

Best wireless router.Reviews recommend the Belkin Pre-N as the best wireless router overall, praising its range (up to 1,000 feet), resistance to interference, and speed, useful for sharing data, music and video files.

Best mid-range router.According to reviews, the Linksys WRT54GS wireless router performs consistently well up to about 200 feet in most homes. You'll get the best performance if you're using other Linksys SpeedBooster network cards and laptop cards, but the Linksys router is also compatible with other 802.11g and 802.11b devices


Budget wireless router.In reviews, the range of the Linksys WRT54G is pretty short -- about 75 feet in tests at CNet. Still, if you don't need a lot of range, the Linksys is a reliable wireless router that will work well with pretty much any 802.11g adapter card, and it also works with older 802.11b gear.

iTunes-compatible wireless router.Belkin Wireless Pre-N and Linksys WRT54GS routers are Mac compatible, and both get faster throughput speeds than the Apple AirPort Express. Performance-wise, the AirPort router is on par with the much cheaper Linksys WRT54G. Even so, the AirPort is compact, and has a sleek design. One unique feature is its ability to stream iTunes music from your computer to a stereo (with optional cables and accessories). Mac users will get more range and much faster data transfer speeds from the Belkin and Linksys WRT54GS wireless routers, both of which cost less.

Wireless N routers are or called Pre-N devices are capable if giving you wide coverage for internet connection but it is still a pre-n device and may have some problems to it still. I would settle for an SRX or MIMO technology since it has been tested and working well on my end. well. i dunno thats what i could sa. :)
