I have a d-link N router, which is comprised of 3 wireless connections. The network is G speed because 2 of the adapters are G and N functionality isn’t possible in mixed networks or something.

One of the G adapters broke and needs to be replaced. I realize N speeds aren’t possible due to the network being mixed, but what about the signal strength/reception of the N adapter? The G adapter that broke had horrible signal strength/connection (almost 24/7 11 mbps, sometimes but very inrequently and briefly 18), so I am wondering if since the network is mixed wiill the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE connection be 54 mbps even if I’m just at the time interacting with the N router (meaning, I am not transferring files from a G adapter’d computer, just getting the internet connection from the N router/computer with the nN adapter)?
Bonus question: Good recommendations for G USB adapters?

I was going to go with d-link because that is the same brand as router (broke adapter is netgear), but I read there are extremely frequent longetivity issues with their G adapter and the computer this would be for is on 24/7.
im aware of the n speeds only helping lan speed. ::) thanks for trying to look out for me though

trying to explain my situation was too difficult. sorry. but your advice has been taken to heart and will help me make a decision

I have an HP laptop that runs XP (Home Edition). I have a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX 400. I have a Linksys Router (Standard-G).

My problem — I have not been able to connect to MY network for a couple of weeks. I can connect to a friend’s network, who, of course, is significantly further away than my router.

What I’ve tried: 1) reinstalling the wireless card software (and hardware) 2) only using Windows to configure the wireless network 3)only using the Linksys Configuration Utility to configure the wireless network.

Both the Windows and Linksys Configs have not been able to see/read my network. I want to reconnect to my network so I can get back to the following standards:

1) having a strong signal strength

2) having a steady wireless connection (it drops off every so often with the current set-up)

3) being able to go anywhere on my property using my network

Also, I just barely reconfigured my IP address (ipconfig/reset) — still no luck

I am trying to reposition the wireless router in my house to increase the signal strength through out the house. I have been told by some people to put the router downstairs because the signal goes up and others have told me to put the router upstairs because the signal projected down mostly.

Need help in solving a dispute. When phones are close together are you able to use/take their signal strength to make yours stronger ?
