They're all "compatible" at this stage all the N routers are really capable G routers with better range than the G only routers. This is due to better antennas, more powerful radios, more powerful processors, more RAM and ROM.

So if N fails to work they will still do G. The 350N is draft N 2.0 compatible. The only downside to the 350N i forgot to mention is the lack of removable antennas.

The best N routers I'd recommend is the Buffalo in PCMag review, Asus WL500, linksys 350N V1 (serial starting in PNQ), and the Dlink DIR-655 Rev A.

In that order. Pricing is also in order from most to least expensive.

The Asus WL500 is like a perfected Linksys 350N sharing a lot of the same hardware.
