Conclusion:
So what we’ve found out here today is that – Yes the 802.11n adapters are much faster than your standard 802.11g adapters, but by how much? That’s where it gets interesting. D-Link (and most other wireless hardware manufacturers) claim the Wireless-N cards are up to 14x faster than a Wireless-G card, but today we’ve seen them run just a mere 3x faster. Still big improvements over the old technology for sure, but nowhere near the claims of the manufacturer.
So in the end what we have here is 3 wireless adapters that do show a big performance boost over a standard 802.11g wireless adapter, so I think they’re certainly worth the money if you’re after a high performance wireless adapter. However I'd recommend not putting too much stock in the speed claims spewed forth by the manufacturers, because it simple doesn’t come close and you’ll only be disappointed.
