My wireless router died- what do I replace with?

G or N wont make much difference when pulling data from the internet (ie - netflix) because you are limited by your external connection.

20mb from your cable is less than half of what G can push (54mb/s), so you wont hurt yourself using the G band.

I use a Cisco E3000 and Netgear WNDR3300 and have had good results with both. The E3000 is setup such that the G band is for all the random devices (phones, laptops, tablets, desktops, etc) and the N band is for media only (streaming HD movies/tv to WDLive or PS3, or pulling on-demand stuff down from directv) using the WNDR as a wireless bridge to my entertainment center.
