Thinking about getting a Linksys router, yes or no? And would getting a wireless n router be better than a g?

Question

My Netgear WPN824 router sucks so much, I've never loathed Netgear so much. I have a wireless network card from them and it works awesomely, however their router is a piece of c**p. I've only had it for a few days and every single day, I have to restart it! Plus for some unexplainable reason, my macbook cannot get internet from the router, even though it has full signal strength.

So I've decided I'll return my Netgear router and go for a Linksys instead. Is that a good choice?

And I'm deciding whether I should get a wireless-n router or a wireless-g. All the computers I have are only g, but wouldn't I get better reception with a n? I was thinking of this router:

It seems to support both b/g. The main concern is that will it work for all my computers and laptops? There is currently one HP pc (soon to be two in a week), and two laptops (one HP and the other a mac). The pc and HP laptop connect perfectly fine to the current router, it's just the mac that is giving me a major headache.

Answer 1

If you only have g computers, there is pretty much no benefit to n. n is compatible with b/g, but I wouldn't expect any improvement.

Answer 2

get g as if all the devices are g or even some are, they will get no added benefit from an n router.
