Router upgrade

[thewolfe]

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with a internal DW1395 4312BG wireless card.

My router is a D-Link DI-624 802_11g Wireless 108Mbps Router.

I also have 3 wired desktops on that router.

If I upgrade my router to an \"N\"

1. Will I get faster speeds on the desktops?

2. I assume, if their available, I'll have to get a new \"N\" card for my laptop if I want to take advantage of the router?

3. If I can replace the card, would the laptop be faster?

1: No.
2: Yes.
3: Unlikely.

I love it.

Short, sweet and to the point.

Thanks for the info.

BTW, why ever upgrade? What would warrant upgrading to \"N\".

BTW-2 I do have FIOS. Getting 12.40 mbps down and 1.88 mpbs up.

if you have FIOS, get a wired connection.

People upgrade for better range or better throughput (but in the case of the latter it is never a substitute for a wire).

Gatcha, thanks.
