    N is better for streaming but the G and N are pretty much the same for gaming unless u have super fast internet and a N wireless Router (which most people dont)

    Wireless routers can transmit using different protocols, n/g/b being the most popular ones.
    You'll likely be fine either way.

    Not unless your netopia router is 802.11n and correct me if i'm wrong but eircom dont provide 802.11n routers as they wouldn't have the connection speeds to justify them (24Mb top package), so extremly doubtful

    You'd have NO difference whatsoever. Would be a waste IMHO

    OP if you're still looking for one I don't use mine anymore. I'm willing to give it away for nothing if you're interested mate.

    Just shoot me a PM and I'll talk to you further then.
