My Router G Crashes When I Stream Music Using Wireless Connection

[diddo09]

Hi,
For the past three days, my router [wireless G - Dlink wbr-1310] crashes itself after I try to stream music using my wireless connection . At first, I thought my current subscription provider's software crashes my internet connection. But I install another software from different music streaming vendor and it also crashes my computer wireless connection. The same problem occurs when I tried the third vendor on my laptop computer. As this problem occurs, I can easily stream my music from another computer when it is actually using wire connection rather than the wireless connection. Right now, I am considering upgrade my router because of this situation. My question is, "Is it time for me to ditch my wireless G router and upgrade to wireless n?"
Thanks

BTW, I am currently using Zune Pass on my laptop.

Well, N is definitally better than G and faster too so I'd say ditch it and buy a better one

Before going for N-router, try updating the firmware of the existing router.

yes, grr is right and you should try a firmware update if possible before buying new one. Also do this only if you know how to do it.

Hi Avi..

& coming to update, it is very easy. Log in to the router and you could easily find the update button.

PS: most of the router would do an auto-update on login.
