Yep, that should do it. On a 50meg connection it won't really affect you much, even if you connect with a single spatial stream N device (N150 device) which will only connect at 72meg on a 20Mhz bandwidth setting. The extra speed is great for lan transfers between your own home PCs, but you can switch to a 40Mhz channel for a big file transfer and then switch back again. Even better, ask VM why you didn't recieve your free 5Ghz compatible wifi dongle when you got 50meg installed. You should have got one included. If you got 50meg before the Shub came out then get a 5Ghz dongle from the shops (so long as your router is 5Ghz compatible). Then you can run in 300meg mode without annoying the neighbours.
