I am in need to expand the range of my wireless network at home. Currently I am running on a 11G specification, and knowing that if I purchase an access-point I can expand my range.
But 11n specification is on the rise, which option would be the best route for me?

Thanks

Does Shaw support QoS, are you really generating 10Mbps 7x24 that you need QoS?

I use QoS at home since I have voip, so it does benefit me as I upload alot. QoS is also not always about voice, for example, when I play on Live (xbox360) it prioritiezes game data packets over other data on network as well.

so.... going with n-spec wireless is better then getting an access point under g-spec?
