[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 320434, member: 23228"] Only if your internet connection is faster than the 802.11g standard. Since most DSL and cable connections are hovering around the 1-2 Mbps range, and 802.11g will transfer at 54 Mbps nominally, an "old" 802.11g network is already pushing data a lot faster than you can bring it into your home through DSL or cable. In fact, the older 802.11b standard is rated for 11 Mbps, which is still much, much faster than your internet connection unless you have a dedicated trunk line in your house. :P What "n" will give you is the ability to transfer files from your computer to another on the network, or to a networked HDD, or something like the Apple TV, at much faster speeds than the current 802.11g can deliver.
