I am going to purchase a router for a comp I want to get.
I see that there two types of wireless routers- N and G - What is the difference?
The machine I am looking for will run XP.
Thanks!

N is faster then G. Just make sure the wireless card you get for the computer is rated for the router you get.
N should be backwards compatible with G cards but you won't get all the speed benefit from the N router if you don't have an N card.

They are two different protocols. Most (probably all) N routers and networks cards
can also do G and probably B protocol.
Anything labeled as G will only do G and in amlost all cases B.
N is faster than G (but you'd never notice the speed difference
if you are just connecting to the internet, they are both
way faster than a home internet connection.
N should, technically, have a bit longer range than G,
but in real-life most people don't see a great deal of difference here.
There are 4 protocols: A, B, G, N. N is the latest and greatest, it has the longest range and most speed. Go with N if you can.
(Also, fyi, backwards-compatibility with the other three protocols depends upon the router, it is not required.)
