Trust me, you won't see a difference...

between 802.11b and the supposedly faster g and n. You internet connection goes much slower than the b spec and faster g and n specs won't make a lick of difference to any perceived performance. That's why I go with b spec equipment as most people are foolish enough to almost throw out that good, working equipment and upgrade to newer equipment without realising that they're not gaining anything.

I believe the n spec has better range, but that only becomes a necessity if you're going to operate your devices far from the base station (like, do you live in a Hollywood mansion?) And then again, you can get range boosters for b spec equipment anyway which costs far less than a full set of new g or n gear, so that point is moot.

Hope this helps :-)
