MIMO (SRX) router with 802.11g clients?

    I'm looking to improve the wireless coverage in my house, not neccessarily increase the range but the two seem to go hand in hand.

    All my clients are 802.11g, and there's a PSP (802.11b) that occasionaly hits the network.

    At the moment I'm using the Netopia 3347WG router and the reception in my study is reported as being excellent, but the ping times from the PC to the router are 19ms. I would like to get a proper 1ms ping across the network and I'm wondering if it's worth investing in a better router. I was thinking of the new Linksys with SRX400 (MIMO).

    Any ideas if it makes a difference for 802.11g clients, or do you have to get pre-n (MIMO) cards as well?

    TBH, you might not se much of an improvement. I'd recommend setting up a second 802.11g access point somewhere else in your house to increase coverage. You can do that either with WDS repeater mode, or by wiring it up with ethernet.
