So I was looking into one of these to boost my wireless signal.

Now I was wondering does this thing send out mode G and N? Also if anyone has any other ones they'd like to recommend I am all ears.

First off, check your modem, as they are usually set not to transmit at their maximum capability. Go to its menu via a browser window and check out its signal. It is usually set on low ;-)

How much more range are you trying to get, or is it signal strength from from your current router? Third party firmware for routers such as ddwrt will allow you to boost the power of the radio your router already has.

It should not make a difference at all with G/N data. The more important thing to look at is, if the antenna you're looking at and the antenna on your router have the Same Frequency.

Here are the Specs from the Antenna you are looking to buy.
Compare these figures to your current Antenna as best as you can. Most importanly you will be looking for Impedence and Im sure ur current router is 2.4Ghz as are most Routers...

l Bandwidth : 2400MHz

l Maximum Power-W : 50

l Input impedance :50 Ohms

l Bandwidth-MHz : 100

| 2.4 GHz

l Gain : 25 dBi
