Reading reviews and especially user reviews on sites like Amazon.com will help you make the best decision for your situation. Best of luck.

The D-Link DIR-655 802.11n router I'm using has received great reviews about its connection strength - that's part of the reason I got one - and I can verify that my signal strength with my laptop on 802.11g is better with it. I haven't had a drop out yet on the wireless network with it. If you got a good wireless-N router you might not see better connection speeds just with 802.11g devices, which would still be limited to 54Mbps. But there is a chance you could see better stability with your connections like I have. I can fully recommend the D-Link DIR-655 as a wireless-N router if you're considering one. They can be had for about $130 CAD on sale. That could be the case.
