my eircom router is wireless g
most of the phones are n
am i right in thinking g or n makes no difference wireless browsing on an 8mbit line?

will the g router slow down streaming and file transfer on n devices?

thanks

Yes and yes. HD streaming is not really an option, in the real world, an 802.11g wireless connection maxes out around 30mbps unless you're sitting right next to the router.

i have the basic eircom router with 1 antenna
wireless range is the biggest problem

is it possible to replace it with a g router with a much better range
or do i need a router and AP?

You can buy a Wireless G router and connect it to the Eircom router. Then disable WLAN in the Eircom router.
