In my opinion the B and G
working range is a joke. I can't even make it work inside from one end of

house to the other. N is the first one to really be useable, but like I
said, you need N at both ends of the wireless connection for it to work
right. Having it on only one end doesn't buy you anything, but having N on
your router will probably make all your neighbors very happy if you
haven't
made your network secure. You need a firewall too. Your neighbors be able
to
connect much more easily to your internet connection, and your personal
data
too if you haven't set it up with good security and a firewall to keep
them
out.

We use the "G" and are pretty happy with it..

Our house is concrete block with lots of re-bar in the walls and we still
use
the notebook computers in the shop, which is in the other end of the
house..

We share our Satellite internet with our friends next door and they do
fine, if
you can call our connection fine (even on our desktop units with hard
wire),
unless we forget and park my truck in between the houses..

Being cheap, we gave them the firewall and router passwords in exchange
for them
paying 1/2 of the $60 a month for access..

But, will a wireless router have enough power to shape hardwood molding?
