Hi, I currently have a Netgear 834PN, but I need a better coverage, a better signal whilst using my Macbook Pro, a macbook core 2 duo and I also have a macmini intel duo in my lounge as a kind of media centre.

Anyway, the Netgear 834PN (http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=2436) is not giving a good enough coverage and I am thinking about the Netgear 834N (http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=3474)

I think it looks like it's backwards compatible from N which is good.

the other idea would be to try and utilise the N range with the three macs I have?

I have heard that I can upgrade my Macbook Pro 17" and my macbook to take advantage of the N - is this safe and what does this involve? also, wondering if I can do the same on my mac mini or would I have to use a third part usb device?

If anyone has any experience or knowledge, it would be very useful. thanks
 
excellent, thank you very much. I was also told that on some occasions it's messed up peoples machines doing the upgrade? is this true? has yours been ok?
 
Mine has been flawless. Except for one thing, which was that I needed to run apple updates for it be able to install but that was about it. I use to hit speeds of 3mb/s and now I hit 4mb/s.

Note: thats megabytes not megabits
