Router advice

[BUTCH1]

Hello all, I am currently running a "b" speed wireless router, I plan on hooking up
another wireless node to a spare PC and use it to run Google earth and show it on
my main TV. Is a "B" router fast enough for this or would a "G" router make a huge
difference??. Both NIC cards I have are "G" capable so I would be already to go in
that regard. Thanks in advance for any opinions suggestions..

B is good for ~ 2.5 Mb/s sustained throughput. If your internet connection is better then that, then upgrade. If it's not, then I wouldn't worry about it.

If you planning to buy take into consideration that old 802.11b are WEP only and thus decrease you Network security.

Old B can attenuate the existing 802.11g too.

There are 802.11g Wireless Router on sale for $10-$20.

This one is Free after rebate, http://www.compusa.com/product...671-_-productname_link

Since they are that cheap I'll probably just go ahead and upgrade, thanks all for
the advise..

Are you trying to make a pseudo-batcave?

Do they even make B only routers any more? Sheesh. Must be for people who just don't like the letter G for some reason.
