Which router is faster.?

Question

I'm attempting to set up a temporary Wi-Fi network while house sitting. I brought a old Netgear WGR614 Wireless-G Router from home and also a Clear WIXFBR-117 "4G" router I got for free at a garage sale.

The Netgear say it has up to 54Mbps "internet throughput".
The Clear just says 4G.

Which is faster? When looking on line I found that 4G speeds are around 20Mbps? I expected the Clear to be faster because it newer. What am I missing...?

Here's some links to what I have...

Well it depends on what device you are going to use with it. If you have a Wireless device that supports N. Then the Clear is faster. "Supports 802.11b/g/n WiFi enabled devices" That means it supports Wireless G/B and N. And seeing how the Netgear supports only G speeds. Clear is faster, But as I said If the device connecting to the router is not N as well it will run at G speeds. (54 Mbps) N speeds are (300Mbs) But you won't ever get that.(130 Mbps and below) I'd say. But also make sure there are no conflicting channels (Other AP's) And configure the router properly and you will have no issues. Good luck!

Most of the internet companies provide their own compatible routers to work for internet.Most of the routers are netgear huawei or TP links.If you have an internet connection from Qwest or Verizon then they have their own brand of routers which work perfectly for internet connection with 4G support.
