N is completely backwards compatible with B&G networks.
I've never heard of a case where G had better range than N (Maybe the very early draft N products) but most of the range enhancing features of N aren't usable for a G device. My existing G devises get better range with my new wireless N router than they did with the previous one but since they are different brands, styles and price points it's not really a direct comparison. That said everything I've heard says a good quality N access point will have better range, even using legacy B&G devices.

problem with overlap is multipath. If signals reach the receiver at different times the signal will be degraded, not strengthened.
You can do file sharing but you'd better do a lot of planning beforehand. Limits on the number of users per network segment will be your issue.
Yes, you can limit bandwidth...you need to read up on configuration and planning of networks. Nobody here is bothered by questions, however most of us sleep sometimes...it's now 7AM where I am<yawn>

One more question. Will N be backward compatible with G ? I mean if i install an n router will some1 with a g adapter be able 2 access it ? Also i am told the range of N is LESS then g. Wouldn't that be an issue ?
[COLOR="Green"]Hey, budd. I thing you will find you are biting off more than you can chew on this one. what you should do is get a couple of big switches and go hardwired. Far less hassle for you. trust me.
N series are at least 3x more range than g. they are back compatible n.g.b.a series. (If anyone still has one of those archaic things.) Or better yet this is a hostel. set up a little internet cafe on each floor in the commons room, with 1 router on each floor, or maybe on on each 3rd floor if the router talks through the ceiling/floor. Just an idea. WAY easier to set up.

[QUOTE=drmac;706494]Hi everyone
I am new to Daniweb but i felt this is the place to ask somebody abt the help i need.
The query is this.
I live in a hostel with 2 floors and we wanted to do a wi-fi
How to Find out The password of router & add new password so i got maximum Speed.
the spacification is as bellow
NETGEAR WGT624v4
Security pin.86988582
serial 1n727c7h02be0
mac-001E2A5293D2
We do have a good internet connection (good by the standards here , in russia , its 25Mb/s)
and tht is to be shared by abt 50 users through wi-fi.
how should we go about setting up the network ?!
what are the requirements for the server (which I am told is a necessity over such a large network) ?

HI. start by having a little look here
http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WGT624v4.asp
It gives you the default passwords and capabilities of the router you mention. The solution to your question depends severely on
a) the distances between router and PC's
b)the number of walls/floors/ and types of structures, eg glass, wood, concrete, and their thicknesses,
c)the capabilities of your router. I havent checked yours, but most support around 16 pc's wirelessly each. I am short on time right now, so go and have a little look and we can discuss this more, later. but that link should be a good start for you I think. or search www.about.com for some answers too. the tutorials are not great, but they are a starting point.
