Need for speed

I have Windows XP MCE (with latest updates), D-Link 524 wireless router,
and XBOX 360 with wireless adapter.
I use this configuration to watch recorded TV on the PC via the XBOX 360.
It works fine for the most part, but occasionally there are slow downs
in the video.
MS suggests using an 'A' router. Mine is rated at 54, and I see D-Link
has another one DI-624, rated at 108. Would I see an improvement going
for the 108 unit, or is the XBOX adapter the determining limit?
Anybody have experience using an 'A' router?
Also, D-Link has a router that has 'Speed Booster'. Would that help or
is the same as the 108 unit?

Thanks for any info.

Hi
I can not offer you a Speed Boost, however you should know.
1. The Extra Speed of the 802.11g devices (Like the D-Link 108) is
functional only if you use a matching 108 D-Link Wireless Client Card.
2. The Speed Rates (54 or 108) is Not he Speed of the Network's transfer, it
is the Internal Speed that the Chipset is working with. The actual Bandwidth
(Speed) depends on Hardware quality, software configuration, distance, and
other environmental factors. http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html
This page describes the working "Speed" that various Networks actually
provide, http://www.ezlan.net/net_speed.html
This page might help in evaluation and tuning of the "Speed",
