Assuming i get an N router... would that be faster speed than the currently linksys wrt54g router i have now?
Yes and no. It will be slower as your Wi-Fi card is older.
The router will have to support the
2.4Ghz band to work with your Wi-Fi card. A router that supports 2GHz/5GHZ will work on your laptop, but the Wi-Fi card is not dual band. It's single band. Meaning, you have to use the 2.4GHz band running b/g/n.
