Okay so, im having a BIG problem. There are a lot of devices connected to my network, and i have a gross, old router. Its a netgear wgt624 v3. I'm constantly dropping connections and it's always slowing down.
I was thinking of just shelling out $180 and getting an airport extreme. I know absolutely nothing about routers so any help is appreciated.
I have an iMac, 2 HP laptops, 1 acer laptop, 1 sony vaio laptop, 2 hp desktops, and finally 1 sony vaio desktop and two xboxs all connected to this router(the sony vaio desktop is hooked in via ethernet).
That's a total of 10 things connected to this slow, old crappy router. Now my iMac has 802.11n, and if i read correctly, it should allow faster speeds. Right now im getting about 16 mbps (constantly dropping to like 3 mbps though) on G because it's a G router, would i see an improvement with 802.11n? If so, how much?
Would all the connections be all around faster? Can I keep two routers in my house and use this one just for me? Would i have to get another modem? I'm so confused and i really need help on this because everything is taking so long to load. Please help me!! Thanks
