Quantum 50 over a network: will I see 50?

I have a home wireless network with an Actiontec MI424WR router.  I believe it's 802.11g.  One computer is hardwired (ethernet) to the router, one is wireless.  That computer is 802.11n capable.

If I upgrade to Quantum 50, I presume that the hardwired computer will see the increased speed.  What about the wireless computer?  And will I need a new router?

A new router that is capable of 802.11n will make some difference in wireless speed.   But you won't get the 50Mbps.  Perhaps 25-30 Mbps.

Also, with the Quantum 50 I believe you will have to pay for the n router.

a proper router on that speed plan will yield very good results.
