I have an old linksys b. Tried a new linksys g and found exactly no
difference. Tried Belkin g and found no speed difference but less signal
strength past 50 feet. 3.0 Mbps internet connection. I was told that
the only benefit in changing to g would be if there were multiple
machines attempting to transfer files between machines capable of doing
so at greater than 11Mbps and likewise no benefit if internet connection
speed is less than 11 Mbps. That seems to be the case.
