Wi-Fi and router range

[alwinder]

Hello,I have a Linksys wireless G,2.4 Ghz ,54 Mbps router.My iPad2 ,according to specifications has a Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) adapter.My question is: If I change my router to a type N,would I get enhanced Wi-Fi distance range?,currently in my house I go upstairs and my signal tends to fade to two or one lines.Has anybody here had an experience with these routers?Thanks for any answers.Alberto

It all depends on your house. Try it and see what happens. If you don't get better range, switch back.

The n specification does extend range, so should give better reception at distances

Thanks for the answers.I will just have to try an N router,and if no improvement,I will make sure i can give it back,and get a refund.

My current router is a N type and found that I have better reception in the far ends of the house than the previous router, but it is not significantly better.
