Can I expect better results using Netgear WNDR3800 Wireless Dual Band N600 Gigabit Router.
Perhaps. The WNDR3800 is much faster than your current router. But if your laptop hardware is also 802.11g then it won't be any faster. Can you tell what WiFi card is installed in the laptop?

One netbook has a broadcom wireless adapter which is capable of N draft, the other laptop is more robust and decent spec has a n adapter (not sure what brand it is)

Also what does it mean by "WiFi Channel"
802.11G has several channels (11 in the US). Your router picks one to use.
