ow and 802.11g doesnt go up to 100Mib/s, but only 54 Mib/s

yeah yeah. you're right. standard 802.11g gear does run at 54mbps. there are 802.11g-based routers + adapters, though, which include 100mbps capability. but there is no 100mbps wireless standard yet, i think, so the 100mbps feature is advertised under names like "Super G" or "Extreme G" or whatever.

I use a D-Link on 802.11b.

I can't see the need for a g-router because I don't the bandwidth coming in in the first place. It's a waste of money.

At my old place I used wireless exclusively with 2 desktops and 2 laptops.

Now I'm going to run jacks throughout the house for:

ethernet, cable, 2 phone, (and leave a fiber receptacle open for the future)

I'm going to put jacks everywhere (including the bathroom and kitchen).

I'll use my wireless for when I go in the backyard and maybe buy a signal booster.

btw I never had a problem with my D-Link router and it was located in my basement. I had wireless cards from multiple brands on the ends and none were D-Link.
