Hi all , first question ive asked, so hope its in the right place 
its this range thing on the routers, ive been told so many different things by different companies i have lost track,
all i know is, when i was with virgin, on 2mbs, but only recieving 1.5mbs through the line, with an "n" range router, i could use my laptop in the garden and my teen lads had no probs on the ps3, ( i know i use the ps3 but i wouldnt know if i had lag or not cos i miss most of the shots anyway )
now i have moved to sky with 8mbs, but only recieving 5.9mbs through the line, but with the standard sagem "g" range modem/router, i cant go in the garden on my laptop and my teen lads have lag on most of the games they play on the ps3
i moved from virgin because the connection kept getting interupted and we had to restart the modem loads of times during use, and i did keep phoning up and complaining and kept getting told to restart everything, (like i hadnt done that already) and because it worked fine after restarting was told there was no problem they could fix, couldnt get them to understand it was the restarting i was sick of, finally got sick of phone bills being high because of calling them and moved to sky.
when i phoned sky, i told them the 8mbs should be fine because i had no problems with the 2mbs with virgin on the ps3, (the main thing used on the internet)
did stress to them that it was the ps3 that i wanted on the internet for keeping the lads happy, they told me that was fine enough and i went through with the order
now the lads have lag on their games and i cant go and have a fag break in the garden with my laptop, have phoned sky and had my line tested 3 times , they say no problems , went out and bought an "n" range router but couldnt get it on my line because my password and username are invalid for my sky account ( did spend 6 hours on the phone to help lines to belkin and netgear with the routers i got ) was told that my password and username are different and are in the standard sky router but are hexed and need the code to get them, sky wont help me there
talked to pc world told me everything should be fine on a "g+" and it is my fault nothing will work and i am putting it all in wrong, im not stupid i know im not and hubby is quite good with all these things, never had a problem getting on internet and had a computer for 10 years
phoned aol thinking of moving again lol , and was told there is no difference between "g" and "n"s they are all the same, so now im confused
dont know what is wrong with everything and dont know if im going stupid, if there is no difference in the range why do they make them so there is ,
would like someone to let me know if there is a difference between these "g" and "n" s and why my internet now lags and doesnt have the range when its supposed to have more mbs coming in
i just want everything to run smoothly am i asking to much lol
