My intention was not to suggest you should not buy modern tech. However sometimes what we need and what the marketers are selling us is so far out of whack, that people will blindly just assume they actually "Need" what they are being sold. WIFI is one of those cases. If you were to do a Coke vs Pepsi blind taste test with WIFI, there are very few people who could tell the difference in performance for G vs AC and only in specific scenarios. I always tell people when buying tech go into Bestbuy and find something that is middle of the road, it will not be end of life as quick and you will not pay the new tech markup that people pay for the privilege of being the first to own it. In the case of G wifi you cannot actually buy G anymore except for some unique situations, however it is still a viable tech. And in the case of the JEFA Tech solution that sells a rebranded Linksys WRT54G, it is more than most people will ever need in a campground and the WRT54G is still probably the most solid piece of consumer WIFI equipment ever built.
You will never go wrong buying newer, but you don't need to buy it just because PC Magazine says you need it.
