Hey guys,
I was looking to upgrade to see if I could get a little bit quicker internet connection for gaming online. I am currently playing on a laptop about 50 feet away from my router (WRT54G). Right now I am using an Ethernet bridge (Netgear XE102) to connect to the internet instead of wireless because it seems to be a bit quicker (Running an Ethernet cable is not an option for me unfortunately). My question is, what would be the most cost efficient way to increase my internet connection speed, replacing my WRT54G router, which to me seems a bit dated, or would getting a different Ethernet bridge be a better option? I am not certain how well either of these perform but I am sure there is much better out there. I would be willing to spend about $150 on any upgrades. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Forgot to mention the modem and router in the other room is connected to a Mac, I'm not sure if that has any influence on your guys' suggestions.
