Thanks Actually some G routers can do 108mb. but if you are touching 140 thats "n" Strength is a function of distance and direction. N should have decent range. doesnt really matter for you bottleneck is going to be your connection to your ISP. Ken J+ |

| | Also can i clarify something. Does using a Wireless N router definitely mean that i will be running on wireless 'N' and not 'G'?? |

| | Nope, routers usually must be configured to use N - same for the adapters! However, there are some compatibility issues so it can happen it will not work depending on what hardware you use. |

| | Hi, you could also have a look in the Device Manager and then click on Network Adapters.  |

However, there are some compatibility issues so it can happen it will not work depending on what hardware you use. Now my link speed is jumping from 40mbps to 121mbps in the last 5mins of timing it. Additionally, my wireless signal strength keeps hopping from 2 bars to 4 bars even though i dont move my router or my laptop. Any suggestions? Also how do i configure the router/adapter? Sorry for so many questions :P im new to this |
