N access point/router is an overkill for home applications unless internal home network has several (~5+) computers, which exchange a lot of data. Speed of a G WiFi network is already much higher than a typical cable or DSL internet link so upgrading to N WiFi is pointless if Internet speed access is the only consideration.
