    Thinking about upgrading the network here to N capabilities since i have the new Xbox360, wondering if its worth getting some homeplug devices to wire up the xbox for optimum performance instead of N wifi?

    The router we have at the min gets 3 outa 6 bars on the PC and 2 outa 5 on the xbox, some dead spots around the house and isn't that reliable... so i think its in need of an upgrade really... Internet isnt anything special 2mb connection though, the speed would really be for the internal networking...heres the speed from the pc about 15m from router.. xbox is further in opposite direction

    anyone have any experience with homeplug devices vs wireless N wifi-ing is it really that much faster or going to make a difference?? getting the xbox up to good speed is the issue here really... We have a Pc in the house usually on 90% of the time, uses a normal wifi g dongle, But would be upgraded to N for media straming with the xbox, Or i could just get some homeplugs and do the xbox that way and have the same old wifi network


    Getting a new N router and N dongle im sure would be sufficient enough for the network here right?

    Everything in the network has to be to the n standard to get the full benefits.

    What about lite N devices that boast the N network but with a max speed of 150mbps... it doesnt really make that much of a difference right unless transfering massive files in the home network?
