PS3/Laptop - Netgear Wireless Router
 

Currently using the Netgear WGR614v6 Wireless Router(54Mbps) & have my ps3 wired up to it & also using a wireless laptop connected to it, I am on 20Mb broadband & just wanting to know will my ps3 & my laptop will benefit regarding faster speeds if i was to get the Netgear WGT624 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router, Appreciate any feedback!!

As you are on 20MB BB and are using a Wireless G router I would say its not worth changing your router at the moment. If you can get the top speeds on your existing router there really is no need to change.

Yeah i know what your saying but i did a speed test on my wireless router & it came up saying

download speed: 6Mb
Upload speed: 768Kbps

Is that a good speed for my laptop to achieve from my wireless router plus how much will my ps3 be getting regarding speeds when im online playing games, So if i added a 108mbps wireless router would i achieve better speeds on my laptop & ps3!!

Thats the maximum youre gonna get with a 54g router over wireless

Probably it is but im wanting to know would i benefit more regarding speed issues using wireless router 108Mbps!!

As I said via PM, depending on the capability of the card in the laptop and the signal level/quality between the router and the antenna it should allow you to get your full speed.

Thanks graham that's great news well appreciated ;)

Re: PS3/Laptop - Netgear Wireless Router
 

The PS3 probably wont benefit as the Wireless is only b/G and not N

I dont have my ps3 wireless it's connected using cat-45 ethernet cable but if i were to use the 108Mbps router it should benefit as to when im online the gaming will be much more smoother, But cheers graham for all your help & stephen as well ;)

Re: PS3/Laptop - Netgear Wireless Router
 

If your PS3 is connected by cable then you should be getting the max speed. New router won't help the PS3. But you should still be able to get full speed over Wireless on your current router. I can get the max speed on my laptop over wireless 54g.

i was using a buffalo 125mb router and was getting around 16-17mbs using wireless but to be honest with you if your going to upgrade the router you might as well get a wireless 'n' one now that way you won't need to upgrade again for quite a while:)
