“Up-grade from wireless G to N I have a wireless G router provided by Verizon Fios. I want to upgrade to a wireless N router for streaming Netflix to my TV with built-in wireless N down stairs. Currently the TV shows received signal strength of 2 bars out of 5. Will a new wireless N router help? If it will, how do I hook-up the new wireless N routet to the existing wireless G router? The G router does not have switch to turn-off the wireless signal, will the existing G signal interfer with the new N signals? Thanks for the help.”

The N router will definitely help as Wireless N has a longer range and faster signal than G does. You can either use your new router in access point mode and connect it to your old router like that or just connect it directly to your router and use it as a second router. The wireless networks will not interfere with each other as each have different SSID's and are 2 separate wireless networks. Regards, Belkin Support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The signals run separately, so they should not interfere with each other. I upgraded from a G to an N recently, and I get 5 bars everywhere. I use my N to stream my Netflix and it's always great, but that's usually not affected by the router, but rather the internet speed from your provider.
