Gonna go wireless since Im moving the computer room to another space in the house. I have cable modem with high speed internet. 1: I need to share internet with 2 other computers and 2. I need to have a wireless LAN for gaming between the 3 computers for games like UT3 etc. All 3 computers will be in the same room with less than 30 feet between them. Should I go with the "wireless g" or the new "wireless n" network?

I dont think that they have finalized "n" yet as it is still a draft n.
I just googled wireless n and found a ton of info on it.
Are your computers already g capable or will you have to buy new network cards?
Theoretically, n will be faster than g and have more of a range than g but it is still in draft, i beleive, and your components that you buy now may not be compatable with the final n specifications.
I have g in my house. I love it. On counterstrike, my ping is around 60 ms for g and 50ms for wired. I cant tell the difference.
I would also recomend llinksys products. They are powered by cisco and i have never had a problem with any of their products even after years of hard use.

you are correct about n being in draft status and will be for another year or so. I will go with g since most say it works fine for them. I will have to buy new cards for all three computers (2 if I use netgear because I already have a super g card in one of them) in addition to the wireless router. Thanks

Your not going to benefit by going with N on anything really.

At a 54Mbps transfer rate...(G)

Your not getting anywhere near that with your current ISP. Verizon FiOS only goes up to 30.(And thats over $100 a month)

As for in the network itself... A 1 gig file would take either take 20 seconds(G) or 10 seconds.(N)

How much does that really matter to you? And remember, thats only within the network.

As long as there is no significant lag while my kids kick my ass at UT3 or other first person shooters and the internet is not slow then I'm ok.
