if you know what you are doing with it.. screw 802.11n. if speed isn't an issue you can expand the range to like 1/4-1/2mile maybe more.

i have a simple solution for this problem, if you have extra money to spend upgrade to N. Is it an improvement over G? yes. If you don't have extra money
to spend don't.

or

Ask your self this is your current wireless network working? If yes don't buy it, if no buy it.
