Are N routers more superior than G type router?

They are superior. No doubt. but most of them are draft-N. There is a difference between N and draft-N. You have to find out in the logo or the manual. If its draft-N, then there is no assurance that you will get 150Mb/s speed. There may variation in speed. Recently through some of the websites i came to know that some Draft- N routers are worst than the G routers. So unless its normal or pure N the speed is not assured.

Thanks all for your suggestion. I got to know the differences between each ones.

Are buffalo router are expensive? Today when i en quired for Wireless-G High Power Router and Access Point WHR-HP-G54 the distributor quoted 3k. and Wireless - Wireless-N 150 for 2.9k+taxes.Each even ebay the price is nearly same.

I thought G router are less as others brands like linksys and belkin are costing 2.5k. Is buffalo products are very good?

Also from the discussion i felt it is better to go for g routers as my requirements are basic.

Please throw some suggestion.

This is not always true. Many n routers can run in dual modes simultaneously..
