I'm curious: Have you actually measured your speeds? The limiting factor may
be your ISP, and not your router.

It's a k or two off, but generally pretty accurate. But if we're
talking a throughput diff of bet. 2.4M and 5M I wonder if wireless N
will make any difference since all I'm getting from the wire to begin
with is max 768k.

Thanks,

normally no, but if you copy a file between machines on your network
you'll see a huge difference.

you'll also get much better range than with g, which means faster
speeds at the other end of the house, where a weak g signal might
actually be slower than your isp connection.
