I am trying to upgrade my home network and wanted to know the performance between the two. I currently use a wireless B linksys router and think it is extremely to slow. I am debating on G or N, does anyone have a link on performance or review to G vs N? Also which route should I go? Thanks!

G and N will be the same for internet traffic - your internet speed isn't faster than either G or N can supply it.

However, N is faster when working with other N devices on your own local network (e.g., computer to computer). Ensure you read the fine print on the N router though, because it may downgrade all traffic to G speeds if any device on the network does only g.

Stick with G for now; it'll be less expensive and it's guaranteed to interoperate because it's a fully finalized standard. N, on the other hand is still in draft, and will be for quite some time.
