I just moved in with my Grandad, he has a bungalow and my room is in the loft. He already has broadband so i set him up with my Netgear DG834G wireless modem so i could access the net. The problem is the signal is quite weak and playing games can be hit or miss. Downloading any type of media content on my laptop or xbox live is pretty much near impossibe (for your info i have the Wireless N Adapter).
I was looking at getting a N router to try and extend the range but then came across homeplugs and well am quite interested in them as this will ensure i have a good connection to my room. I do however still want to use wireless as i have my laptop and well as i just spent £40 on my 360 adapter would still like to use this. I was looking at the homeplugs from solewise as i saw they got a few good mentions on here. I will get the standard AV push one for downstairs to connect to the router but im not sure which one to go for in my room. Either the AV with 54g wireless or the 11n version. I was thinking the 11n version due to my 360 adapteer being n so the transfer speeds should be alot quicker than standard g? forgive me but my knowledge on the internet is quite limited. What would you guys suggest?.
