The faster routers generally don't have on the box "I will heat up quite quickly and drop connection more frequently than slower ones". It's just the faster the router is pulsing out data the hotter it becomes and less stable it is, they have terrible cooling all of them. PS3 uses Wireless G which as you said is 54mbps and just use whichever one you feel is better, if you want blinding speed use the 300mbps one. Try to find which way the air goes through the router and position it to take as much cool air in and hot air out as you can, i have mine on the floor leaning against the wall to keep it at it's coolest. If you are keeping the router at the slower setting and no devices in your home actually use N then yeah use G it'll be more reliable and won't provide any disadvantages to any device. Plus if you get a nice new device which has N built in then you have it when needed.JohnF111
Thanx this was real helpful It's starting to perform on the low G setting it's been stable and yeah I want to keep it around because if I do get something 5 G or some devices that can maintain that 300 connection I will have it here. For now the G setting is helping me and my brother stablize on our separate PS3s. Now since kinda know what I am doing I'm torn between the ****** 600 N db I use to have and this Netgearwndr3400
