I currently have a belkin G router and have done for around 3 years now. so far not had any problems and at the moment it is powering 3 pc's via ethernet and 1 laptop by wireless.

The signal is 100% with the wireless as the router/modem are upstairs and laptop is downstairs along with another pc and 25feet of ethernet cable for the pc.

When Virgin want to play ball both the laptop and pc downstairs can usually get the 2mb download (i'm on 20mb connection)

I've been looking at other routers G+, N and N1 and was wondering if an upgrade would be worth the money or with the current modem working ok it would be a waste??

I can't say I have noticed any slowdown when 3 pc's are running but would an upgrade be worth it. (i dont have any intentions of going to 50mb for a while) so been told that N routers are only really good for 50mb.
