YMMV,

I think it depends on placement and what you would like. I had my router on the 2nd floor at the front of the house and it wouldn't (G router) reliably reach my basement home office at the rear of the house. I have since relocated it to the main floor and it works well through out the house and outside (back deck, garage)
I would go with a G router, they really arent that more expensive. I have a dlink, it works fine.
