First of all G is slow slow slow compared to N..

Second your NEIGHBORS should never be sharing your network.. DOnt you use the encription? Even with "G" I dont understand why people dont lock thier network. Why the hell would you share it?? This shouldnt even be an issue if you know what you are doing..



And with G, the neighbors can SEE your connection.. They of course cant use your connection with G if you use the encription password shit, but they can see your connection..

With N, you can go stealth.. No one can even tell a connection exists..

When friends come over to my home, and bring thier laptops, they seach for availble netoworks on thier laptops and can even see my network.. I have to go into my settings and unstealth it, and then give them the encripted 128bit pass key to get in..

So unlike wireless G where EVERYONE can see your netork, wireless N they cant even see it.
