Hi,
Please can anybody advise; I am on VM 10 Mbps, live in a terraced. Laptop will be used upstairs etc for browsing, some DVD watching/downloading train simm., some multi use ie citrix, not online gaming.

I am buying a router for my sons laptop & looking at buying at least a 150 N speed Belkin router @ £60 approx. I have been advised to go for 300 N+ & pay approx £80.

What I can't understand prior to purchase is; if the speed at which it comes in at, up to 10 Mbps, how can it run quicker than this from ie router to laptop, up to to 300 Mbps or is it from router to laptop is faster?

Regards & Thanks Sean
