Q. Right now, I get about 15mbps if I have a wired connection to my internet. When I put my computer in the other room over wireless, it drops down to 3mbps. My computer is capable of 302.11n, so would I have a faster connection using an 'N' router? I heard that using n can possibly allow for greater distances and better connectivity.
A. N has a wider range comparing to G
N also capable of running on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio spectrum. If possible, go with the 5GHz because of less interferences (your cordless phone,baby monitor,microwave runs on the 2.4GHz)
Also N is capable up to 100 + Mbps, while G is around 54 Mbps but i don't think your internet connection is anything close to 100 Mbps.
better connectivity has more to do with your wi-fi adapter
and also i think you mean 802.11n instead of 302.11n
Conclusion: if you have an N compatible wi-fi adapter and would like to benefit from the above, and money is not an issue (well, N router is pretty affordable nowadays). I'd say go for it

How to increase wifi signal?
Q. So I have a netgear wireless router connecting to my PS3. It gets like a 40-50% signal and wont always connect. How can I increase this signal? I dont really want to buy anything but will getting a cheap antenna for the PS3 do much? Should i aim the router antenna at the playstation? Making a sheet out of aluminium foil and placing it behind the router didnt seem to do much. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A. There are several things you can do; To start with the basic rule is to position the router as high and as centrally as possible in your house.
1] Try changing the broadcast channel from the wireless setup interface for your router/modem.You can normally access this by typing "http://192.168.0.1/" into your browsers search bar and then look for the wireless settings menu.
You don't say if your router can use the 5GHz frequency or just the 2.4GHz. The best channels in the 2.5GHz spectrum are 1,6, 11, or 13 as they have less overlap with the other channels.
There is a useful article here about how to get the best performance by selecting the best channel.: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21132/cha�
If you have an android smarthphone, or a friend does, then install the Wifi Analyzer app free from android market and use it to scan for the best channel and change your routers broadcast channel accordingly. This app will aslo show you all the wifi signals in range that your neighbours are using, so you can select a different channel to them, making a stronger signal for you. https://market.android.com/details?id=co�
2] You can use a tool like Nirsofts totally free WirelessNet View to look at all the local wireless signals that are within range and may be competing with your own router and interfering with reception. from here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_ne�
3] You can buy a Wi-Fi booster like D-Link 645 Smartbeam, here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DIR-645-W�
Devices such as these can actually boost the wifi signal by using multiple beams that bounce of the walls and are intelligently directed toward whatever device [in your case your PS3] that you are using on wifi.
4] If your using the 2.4GHz frequency and not the 5GHz then other devices that use this frequency band can alsso interfere with your reception [eg baby monitors and microwave ovens use 2.4GHz]. Try and make sure that none of these devices are situated between your router and your wifi receiver eg laptop, tablet, smarthphone etc

What is the frequency transmission of wifi ?
Q.
A. There are two different frequencies. The 2.4GHZ and the more modern less well supported 5GHZ.
All routers and mobiles etc can use the 13/14 channels available on the older 2.4GHZ frequency whilst some newer devices that support IEEE 802.11n specification can also use the 5GHZ frequency. In many built aup areas where there are a lot of wifi enabled computers using the more widely supported 2.4GHZ frequency you can get signal problems, also cross over interference from other wifi devices that use the same frequency range, eg baby monitors.
Some, but not all, of the latest IEEE 802.11n capable routers can use both frequencies simultaneously and as the 5GHZ frequency is less crowded, a better signal can be acheived.
2.4GHZ does have a longer range though.

wifi not working till technician is baffled?
Q. it's ok if i connect it with cabel, but the wifi has a problem.. i called the operator but she said everything is alright.. so i changed the modem, but it still won't work.. so i hired a technician to handle the settings.. it went well at first, but the problem came back.. even my technician is confused.. even the troubleshooter won't work.. what's going on? are there external wave frequencies disturbing my wifi?
A. There are several things that can affect wifi signal and things you can do to try and improve things
