N goes for speed
and G goes for distance IIRC.
Get a Net Gear.
My Lynksys (sp) sucks a huge one.
You have to make sure your wireless card can read a wireless N signal, otherwise it will just pick up the G.

ill only be using my itouch and 360.....so either will work?
You will have to get a Wireless G Router, unless you get the Wireless N Network Adapter for the 360. And I dont think the ipod touches will work with N networks.

N is the new router interface. Its not technically certified yet. Linksys is a great company owned by Cisco. Cisco makes amazing enterprise products and all are top quality.
Id look for a:
Buffalo
Netgear
Linksys
US Robotics
The type of router doesnt matter. G is backwards capable with A/B interfaces. Speed doesnt matter unless your connection is faster than 100mbps (standard on most wireless routers, some are even faster). Id save money and go with a G interface.

If you plan on upgrading in the future to N, then get a router that is G/B/N, capable.
we have netgear and it works real good for our 360 ipods and laptops.

Like I said unless your connection is faster than 100mbps then a N interfaced router is a waste of money.

Buy it online at newegg.com
You can get a much better deal on a better wireless router. The only issue is you have to wait for delivery.
That router you linked to will work fine.

THE WHOLE THING!!!
Will an N router work with older wireless cards?
I got my sister an N router for xmas. I'm fairly certain her laptop is compatible since it's only a few months old, but what about older laptops?

I believe it will. A,B came out before G. G is backwards compatible with A and B, but A and B are not forward compatible with G. Im pretty sure the same applies to N, but since its not certified its hard to tell. Different situations may have different outcomes.
Thats also if u dont mind DOA's
