Hello, I have a problem with my Wi-Fi router that won't transfer data at more than 54 Mbps. So I wanted to get another one, but:
-Should I buy a new router and a new modem?
-Is the installation just a matter of replacing the devices, or do I need to reprogram something? -What should I get to have the best possible connection, knowing that the Wi-Fi will need to be picked up by several computers, including some quite old ones?
P.S.: My PC is capable of supporting Wi-Fi 802.11 n/g/b and up to 1000 Mbps
Thank you for your help
Configuration: Windows Vista / Safari 534.13

54 mb/s is the maximum speed of the Wifi g standard, so it's normal that your modem cannot exceed this limit.
Wifi n, on the other hand, can reach up to 300 mb/s which is significantly higher than Wifi g, but the router must support this standard, which is relatively recent compared to Wifi g. You simply need to buy a router for that. The connection is the same as with a box.
However, your PC can in no way have a speed of 1000 mb/s via wifi. That is the maximum speed over ethernet.
If you're not downloading and you find that the internet is slow, it's not because of the speed of your wireless network but the actual speed of your line (out of a theoretical 20 megabytes, you might only get 2 or 8 M, so be cautious).
