hi gavin78,if your happy that your connection is ok i would not bother upgrading yet ,however unless i misunderstand your post you are only getting 2mb from a 20mb connection through your router that suggests that something is wrong
if you do want to upgrade your router then by all means invest in a 'n' router BUT you will not notice any change in transfer speed between router and pc's untill you upgrade your pc/laptop wireless adapter to 'n'
i have just upgraded my router to a netgear 'n' router i am on 20mb i have 2 laptops 'g' and one pc with a 'n' adapter so as you can see 'n' routers are backwards compatible to 'g' so if you are going to upgrade get a 'n' then you will be ready when you upgrade any pc/laptops because most new models will have 'n' adapters in them
hope this helps
