Wireless N Network
My laptop died today so it's time to get a new one. I see many of the new models have built-in wireless n capabilities. Anyone have a wireless n router? Is the download speed improvement noticeable?

over 5x the range, and twice as fast.
First off, you'll get up to double the speed (or more) of a Wireless-G connection, in theory. You may not need this speed for standard internet use, but it would be helpful when streaming HD video or playing demanding online games.
Second, you'll get expanded range from Wireless-N, again up to double or more of a Wireless-G product. NETGEAR's WNR2000 Wireless-N router claims up to 5X the range, and 15X the speed of a Wireless-G connection.
Also, if you get a dual-band Wireless-N router, you can take advantage of the 5 gHz band to help reduce interference from household devices.
In order to take advantage of it, though, you'll need to get Wireless-N adapters for your laptop/etc.
