Subject: OT: router recommendation







I'm looking to replace my
      router, but don't know enough about the wireless standards. The
      current router has two wired connections and supports from one to
      six different wireless 
devices, almost always only one or
    two at a time. The current wireless devices are 802.11g, but future
    devices could well be 802.11n. It's in a home environment with one
    or both wired connections active much of the time. Although
    streaming is infrequent (no Netflix), it is important that streaming
    work well when used,


    Will an 802.11n router work with 802.11g devices?


    Will an 802.11n device work with an 802.11g  router?


    The biggest complaint with the current router is that it
    occasionally drops the net connection, which causes severe stress to
    friend wife.


    If someone wants to recommend a reliable, non-budget busting
    replacement it would be appreciated.



    Thanking everyone in advance,


    Mark Jarvis
