Wireless router speed

[sbdruggist]

Hello,
I just signed up for mediacoms max 50 meg/sec internet service.. Can I expect to get any router to dish out speeds in the 20mb=50mb range? The only way I get 50mb speed from the server is wired.. When I am at 20-30 feet, in another room, I max out at about 18 mb/sec.. is this to be expected to be the wireless max?

Do you have a G or N wireless router?

Do you have a G or N wireless router?

It is listed for all 3.. b/g/n .. says 300mbs .. But, I just realized that my laptops internal is only G..

Would I have to get a N card to see any speed improvement ??

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, you need N to get a faster connection.
