Router G or N: Which one fits better in a small aprtment ?

First, you should know that all current Wi-Fi signals from A to N operate on a 2.4ghz frequency band. G suffers from interference problems from other devices operating on the same frequency levels like wireless telephones for example. Within the 2.4Ghz band there are 14 internationally designated wi-fi channels. Depending on where you live you can access between 10 to all 14. I think the U.S. only allows 12 for reasons I won't get in to here. Bottom line is that if your neighbors are using a certain channel and you get interference, with a G router you have plenty of others to choose from. The good news is that a G router's optimal range is about 100 meters and degrades enough that only your immediate neighbors will interfere with your signal. So most of the time it isn't a problem, just switch to another channel... N routers operate on 2.4Ghz AND 5Ghz. The optimal range is also tripled to roughly 300 meters. The advantage here is that the 5Ghz band (if you decide to utilize it) doesn't have much traffic so you are ensured a good signal. But in an apartment, I always found G was fine if I switched to a channel my neighbors weren't using. So, my advice is to buy G. Also a lot of companies jumped a ahead and implemented N before it was even approved by the IEEE (it'll be official January 2010). I've had problems with all brands of N working with each other over the past few years. Also, if you buy a N, you'll have to enable B and G anyway if you have older computers or visitors with old laptops. If you don't they won't be able to use your wireless. N is too new.

The router have more than enough capabilities for your devices. Since is a dual band model it handles traffic rather well, also Netgear 's Genie software will notify you of any changes. Their customer support is good. Keep in mind that if you are using all of them at the same time the router response time will slow down a bit.

I have the DW6913. It is well made and easily adjustable. I only wish it was a circle guide as well as an edge guide. I would highly recommend it. The DNP618 is for a compact router and I don't think it will fit on the full size routers.

I am not an expert concerning routers, however I found the WNDR4000 N750 to be weaker than my old Belkin so I returned the Netgear and continued to use my Belkin.

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...

While I haven't used either I can tell you two of my past three Netgear routers have died on me. For that reason alone I am choosing Linksys over Netgear this time.

I found the installation to be easy and complete.As to your question, it does not matter how you receive your data, once it is given to you the router will distribute to the appropriate other entities that need and can use that signal.NetGear provides a complete line to assist you in this effort. i currently have both the MNA3100 and MNA4100 both are excellent, W

If you're going to cut dados across the entire workpiece frequently, and you have quite a few dados to cut, I would certainly recommend a dado set. It's orders of magnitude faster than a router and the slot width is adjustable unlike a router bit (which requires multiple passes to create a slightly wider dado.)I've also got a 5-speed porter cable router but I only use it for dados if I'm not cutting all the way across the piece.

Yes and no. The player itself is only G capable. But any N router should be backwards compatible with G devices.A dual band N router can work with both G and N devices simultaneously without harming N speeds.

Well, you don't need a GigE switch for that, since odds are you aren't pushing more than 10Mb to your router to the Net, but, maybe the switch is getting old and flakey. You could try getting a new GigE switch at a local store to test the "flakey old switch" theory, and if it fixes the problem, you know your old switch is no good.

You could use an n or g adapter (since n routers are backwards compatible to g), or you could use an ethernet cable. If you PC had a g or n wireless card already in it, you would not have to purchase another one.

I think it depends on 2 things. 1. If you intend to use parental controls, then I would say go with another router such as the N900 as it should be easier to set up 2. If you are not going to be connecting many wireless devices to it you can also go with a different router. I have over 25 devices connected to mine between PCs, tablets, TVs, chromecasts, phones etc. and with this number of devices I think it makes sense to have a router that is faster. If you only intend to connect a few devices to it, then the N900 would be fine.

Compared to a more powerful router requiring 2 hands for control, this small router can easily be managed with one hand. Unlike larger routers used on narrow stock, this small unit is much easier to keep perpendicular.

A router is more sophisticated than a network switch. A router can include a firewall and DHCP support.

Actually he answer is kinda NO. It runs off 802.11 B or G but MOST N routers support G as well. The airport extreme obviously does. Just wanted to clarify incase you had JUST a wireless N router which is pretty uncommon I believe.

I would strongly consider Extreme if you have a new MacBook with 802.11n, you will see a TREMENDOUS speed increase, esp with a cable modem! I'm about ready to spring for one as I've just gotten a new MacBook Pro with 802.11n and the range on my old Netgear router is great, I can finally take advantage of the speed!

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!
