It'd be rare that your wifi router, or even ethernet switch, was the actual bottleneck in a home broadband connection.

My router is 300MBS and the wifi card on the laptop is 150MBPS so I though it would be fine. I just thought with the multiple devices if a faster router would be a benifit or a waste of time.

Given the disparity in pipeline bandwidths the only possible benefit of newer in-house hardware would be potentially lower latency times, or more flexibility in the management software. None are likely to give you better throughput, unless you're able to selectively channel one pipe to your most demanding client at a time (at the expense of other clients).

The speeds advertised are for local connections. Faster is better if you do lots of large file transfers. Just FYI, speeds are usually measured in bits per second and not bytes per second.
As mentioned, routing throughput is rarely a problem. IMHO, reliabity, uptime, and ability to handle multiple and simultaneous wireless clients are bigger issues to worry about. Anything in specific that you current stuff has you inquiring about an upgrade? |

I had a E1200 for a while till it died. At 25Mbps it will be fine unless you have lots of devices or unless you are doing large file transfers around your home network.

It'll be just fine for your stated purposes.

No, fuck no they are not. Not on a a 2.4 GHz WiFi link. will a router with a higher GHz make things run faster or will my wifi card be the bottleneck? I just pulled this info of the Cisco page
Thanks Free |

Thanks Free Your stuff is fine. Your Internet speed isn't that fast. Go to speedtest.net on your laptop and check if you are that worried about it. And getting a new wireless router with faster wireless isn't going to help any if you are already hitting your max Internet speed. Your laptop probably can't take advantage of 5Ghz anyway. |
