I have a several-year-old (but still good performing) Sony Vaio desktop and AT&T DSL. I would like to set up a wireless network that will be used mainly for web browsing with a laptop and a Wii and some file sharing with the desktop (photos, etc.). I would like to be able to browse over wireless at speeds somewhat near what I have currently with the desktop. Should I go ahead and get a draft N router, or will an 802.11g be all I need? I realize that if I go with a draft N router I will need a draft N card in my laptop to get the best performance. Do I need a gigabit unit? Does anyone have any make/model suggestions? I have searched already for answers, but haven't come up with anything conclusive. It seems like you can get a good draft N unit for as little as $80 which is near the upper end of what I want to spend, so it seems like I should go that route but I'm just not sure. The desktop is on the bottom floor at one end of the house (and therefore the router will be there also), and where the laptop will be used will be on the opposite end of the house on the upper floor approximately 30-40 feet away. Any help is appreciated.
