Wireless N router working at 5Ghz[802.11n] backward compatible with current 802.11 a,b,and g network are available from Linksys nd Netgear, but almost 7~8k. Wait till prices drop.
wifi n is almost as fast as a gigabit lan. But its not a gud idea to spend 8k for a N router as u can do a gigabit lan for almost free if u have a straight lan cable. Gigabit cable lan wud be more faster nd wont eatup battery too I fint the wifi useful only at my college.

I havent tested much of my wireless LAN(using BSNL supplied router) for local data transfer, but internet speed is same as ethernet.

Wires do become alot messy, I tried to setup LAN using 5 port switch. There being not much power points at home(used spike buster to connect router and computer and laptop power also) it was real trouble managing so much wires, always someone or the other moved things disconnecting the LAN

@acewin
internet browsing speeds wont drop if u use wifi, coz the b/w of even 802.11 a/b/g networks are miles ahead of todays internet speeds.
U can feel the network lagging while gaming or doing a file transfer. With N network, its as if u are copying from two HDDs in same PC[or maybe closer]. N network is mainly intended for gamers.

but wifi just gets rid on the lan cables na? we have to live with all the power cables nd USB ones.

yup, I have experienced the time lag in WL at home, my roomy wanted to copy from my and 700 MB was taking 14-15 minutes unlike normal 2-3 minutes from what just using LAN switch.
