It may be alot more money (50-100 bucks) but it will be worth it. You will be able to get faster internet from your wireless. We had 11 for a while and it was slow as hell. Now we have 54. I haven't used it since that but its alot faster.
I perfer wired versus wireless, that way you get the full capability of your internet, not just what the router limits you to.
When you set up your router, make sure you have to have a password(Encrypted wireless) in order to connect to the wireless, otherwise anyone can get onto your internet and possibly cause problems and steal your bandwidth.
unless you have a super fast internet service you don't know what you're talking about. even at 5mbs that's no where near 11mbps. so no your internet service didn't magically get faster when you got a wireless router with a higher bandwidth.
