Definitely not. It basically adds an extra step to a wired connection: the router is wired, then has to send the information to the adapter through the air, and it is a lot slower. I don't have wireless-N yet (just wireless-G), though wireless is still slower and has a greater chance for packet loss--particularly bad for a gamer like myself. I'd love to have wired, though.

I've got a G-router for my Wii- I can't seem to notice it being slow...

Wireless-N's finally a great wireless connection. There's still packet loss (for online gamers, this is the fancy term for lag besides lag by poor pinging) though it's a lot better than G. (My ping's 19 though...)

??? You're possibly on south of Poland, right?

And just a random fact: Poland is connected to Internet through Sweden.

Here's a new speed test for my connection in Paris:

The download speed is higher than last time I checked, but the upload speed is slightly lower.
