Routers
I have just upgraded to the 50MB tier and given a D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router, Should I use this or keep my present router which is a Linksys wireless G WRT54GS v7.

Re: Routers
No N Dongle = no point in N Router as most laptops are generally A/B/G Wireless only (N are becoming more widely available built in now though).
As zing says, try both, though on a G router, the wireless probably wont get the full 50mb as G is 54Meg max (ideal conditions) so you might get 20-30 in real life (without walls in the way)

Re: Routers
I'll try the D link later when I get a bit of time to install and setup.

Re: Routers
If your laptop is wireless N, change, if not dont bother. You should have got a dongle too.
