we didn't installed the router yet but i'm afraid that i may get low signal, so i'm asking how would poor signal strength affect speed...
Thank you.

Wireless will do easily 1Mbps down and up, so if you go with the standard 54Mbps (N isnīt that much faster) you will have enough overhead to get the 1Mbps on a weak signal. Just remember to place your router/modem at a high spot...

1Megabit per second at top speed would give you in theory 128kbps downstream, Consider you are on a signal that has a measurement of strength on a scale of 1-5, if you were getting the worst signal (i.e 1) you would in theory recieve 128/5 = 26kbps.

I have not tested this theory but it makes sense to me that this is what you should expect :)
