i Know which is faster but does anyone have specs/numbers on these to see just what the speed difference is?
My sister was thinking about giving me her wireless base station but its only up to a G and i wanted to see the difference with G and N before i decide to buy N or accept G.

not just apples 5x faster either. i mean benchmarks like for diff. apps and tasks. thanks

My DSL connection is 3 Mbps. For generosity's sake, I'll assume yours is 6 or even 10 Mbps. 802.11g is 55 Mbps. N is ridiculously faster than that, but are you even going to notice the difference when G is already most likely over 5 times the speed of your Internet connection?

I can't give you any numbers, but I think you'll only see a benefit if you move files over your internal network between computers (both need n) or between your computer and a NAS. Otherwise as CharlesS said, your internet connection (not to mention the servers you visit) is the bottleneck.

ok so it only helps if im using it to hook up my back up on. sweet, thanks for the help.

I am not exaggerating. My N Airport base station gives me throughput about 10 times as high as my G Airport base station.

With N i can stream high definition video where as with G I could not without a hiccup. Right now it says that I am connected at 270mb but im sure the speed is much less than that. If you got 55mb out of wireless G then you deserve a handshake.

amazing
