To use advantages of N type network you need to have both devices of N type.
Yes, almost every n-router available supports b and g-modes too.
If you have a router (connected to internet), and you get a laptop with wireless enabled you do not need anything else. You can connect your laptop to the router and have internet on your laptop.

The Linksys Dual-band Wireless A+g Notebook/laptop Router is good.
Is there a router that you can plug a laptop modem into so that I can get internet on my desktop also. The desktop would need ethernet and of course the laptop is usb. So is there a router out there that can do this?
If the access point has a wireless interface and if your laptop supports the wireless network type, no you do not need a router. <><><><><> If the laptop is not near enough to an access point, it will not be able to connect. The router is immaterial.
Yes
Do you mean that you are connecting your laptop through a router with your main computer in your home? If so, no there is no additional charge to connect.
how do i get my laptop to pickup my cisco wireless router while using ubuntu. my laptop will not show wireless connect
make a connection from the router's console port to your laptop's serial port and configure the router from your laptop.
There is no difference between a laptop or a desktop when setting up a router. You should use an Ethernet cable when setting up your router, and use the wireless only after it's setup.
Yes, you can.
