Total Noob Question...I think...

Right now, I have a 25 Mbps down and a 3 Mbps up connection.

 

With this router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124284

 

Linksys WRT54G2 V1 Wireless Broadband Router  802.11b/g 54Mbps 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port (x4)

 

Am I correct that if I upgrade to a wireless n router with gigabit Ethernet ports, I will see no improvement of my internet connection speeds, considering my current speeds?

 

public static void main(String[] args){

     System.out.println("Hello, World!");

}

The only time you'd see improvement is if you were right at the max range of your existing router and connecting with maybe 1 bar. Going from 54mbps to 150 or 300 won't change your internet connection speed, but would make sharing files easier, if that applies to you.

 

The WRT54G series is probably one of the best routers ever made, but Wireless G is quite dated nowadays.
