    Wireless G vs N

    OK heres the Situation. I'm always up a for a good upgrade as long as it doesnt cost too much. Current my ISP is giving me around 2mb and I seem to already max out my connection on wireless via G router -> usb adapter on my desk top in a room in the other side of the house. My connection is always Excellent 80-100% and my speeds are no different to that of Router->Ethernet. If I upgrade my router and adapter to wireless N do I have any benefit?

    No benefit as far as I can see unless you are transferring large files around a LAN as well.

    this,

    if its working for you DONT CHANGE IT, wireless gubbins is temperamental and you may find something on the n router or adapter you get is a bit iffy, its not a risk you need to be taking taking unless as rs4847 says you need to transfer stuff around the network
