Re: Routers

It's good enough. It all depends on what you are wanting to do with your home network.

if the only devices being connected wirelessly are "g" speed, then it's fine, and especially if you are using the speedboost linksys network adaptors for your devices.

If you are moving to 50 meg then the "g" speed wireless may become limiting. Theoretically "g" is fast enough but in practice your close to it's limit and thus you might want an "n" router.

"n" can also, perhaps, operated at better distances since many of these routers are dual band so are less at risk of interference.

the 10/100 wired ports are fine for most networks, but if you move loads of big files you might want gigabit wired ports?

We regularly used to suggest Linksys WRT54G range of routers as being fine for cable. It's only in the last year or two with the greater adoption of "n" wireless and 50 meg that this model is limiting for some users. But that is true of all "g" speed routers.
