They are two different protocols. Most (probably all) N routers and networks cards can also do G and probably B protocol. Anything labeled as G will only do G and in amlost all cases B.
N is faster than G (but you'd never notice the speed difference if you are just connecting to the internet, they are both way faster than a home internet connection.
N should, technically, have a bit longer range than G, but in real-life most people don't see a great deal of difference here.
example, your dsl max download speed is 3mb, g router will acheive 2.5 mb, n router will have full 3 mb. <--- This is not correct
G wireless devices run up to 54Mbit, N devices run up to 150 Mbit.

The G router in a lil older and slower then the newer N router. Look up 802.11g and 802.11n.
a mux has many i/ps & 1 o/p but a router connects many n/ws and the may or may not be of same kind a mux does not follow an algo but router follows algo such as dikakstra bellman ford or any other or a combination.......
Cisco is the brand that I have purchased and trusted. I use the Cisco wireless router in my home and would recommend it for us to others. They are available locally but also on the web at various sites.
Depends on which kind of wireless cards your are running. There is Wireless B/G and Wireless N. The b/g cost about $20 if you go to a retail store, but sometimes you can find them for around $5-$10 at second hand stores or sites like Craigslist.com. If you are running wireless N which is the newest one, then you are looking at $50+ at retail stores.
It depends entirely on when they were made. If it was within the year it came out then you probably have a 50/50 chance. Most of the older b ONLY devices probably not. The dual b/g may have a better chance of it being compatible as it was around that time so much better chance. The b/g/n capable should have it already built in.
You should buy an omnidirectional antenna with a high gain (measured in dBi) if you have a wireless G or B router. If not, I recommend you to buy a wireless N router that comes with 3 antennas. It really increases your signal strength and range. You don't need to have a wireless N adapter to use it, as it supports the older modulations
The difference between an N and a G router is all in what the purpose of your router is for. You need to see if you are using it for a personal or business use.
one is better
Speed and technology (N is a newer, faster technology.)
The same as with wireless G card and G router.
Yes, however, your internet speed will only be that of the G router which is comparably slower than that of an N router.
No.
You can't and you don't want to. A "N" router will work with "G" network components and will additionally support "N" hardware at a higher speed. Converting it to "G" would be a step down.
The equipment with the "n" designation can transmit data at twice the speed of "g" routers and is more than five times as fast as "b" wireless routers.
N is better. It is faster.
Usually they are, you have configure the router for G wireless networks.
In the wireless properties choose "compatibility mode for G" or something like that. If you do so your router will allow both types of wireless cards G and N.
You can use router of G or N type and the same type wireless adapter. Of course you can use wireless N adapter with G-type router and reverse.
