Streaming Video via N Router vs G Router
I want to stream video from my Linksys/Cisco G router to a wi-fi enabled Blue Ray player. My connection to the router is from Comcast via a Toshiba modem. My laptop shows connection speed approx 15 Mbps. Should I invest in an N router to improve video streaming speed or will the G router work?
15 Mbps is rather slow even for G. Investing in a N router also has the drawback of investing in N adapters to recieve the speed that the N router is capable of sending. Some blu-ray players and laptops have N cards already built into them. If the wireless is that slow, you may want to check your speeds when hard wired as well. I know having wires around the house is not ideal, so check about possibly getting an ethernet wall adapter. It can be a better alternative to some devices, such as a blu-ray player and gaming console. The one I picked was just to give you an example.
