Does a g wirless router produce a g signal better than a n would (in mixed mode or g mode)? I know n is the future, and I'm certain I'll eventually hook a blu ray player, but I don't really want to sacrafice signal quality for possible future devices

Answer
some 802.11n routers will transmit b and g as well, though you will be paying extra for features that you cannot use. an n router will not transmit b/g any faster than any other b/g router's capabilities.

if i were you, i would stick with a b/g router unless you plan on upgrading your wireless NIC to n as well

does my wireless usb adapter and my blu ray player need to be the same brand?

I have a sony blu ray player BPD-S270 and on the box it says I need a hdmi cable and a sony usb wireless lan adapter, I bought a different brand cable cause the guy at target said it didnt matter but I didnt ask about the usb. the box said sony's but i dont know if it matters or not???

Answer
It doesn't matter, that's just on the box so you'll spend more on a sony branded wireless adapter.

All wireless adapter work on a standard which is 802.11x, the current one is 802.11n as long as the blue ray drive and the wireless adapter are using the same standard, you'll be fine.
