Looking for some input from everyone/anyone.  My Linksys Router (WRK54G
V1.0 Single External Antenna) that I have had for a good 5 years is on
its last leg.  Periodically my internet connection suddenly fails. I
get it back by disconnecting the router and reconnecting it.  As soon
as it starts up again, internet back up.

So I figure I'm in the market for a new one.  Other than this recent
issue, have not had any other problems with this particular router.  So
would be happy to stay with Linksys, but willing to listen to other
recommendations.

Couple of questions though:

* Is Wireless-N better than G?  Faster, more reliable? Worth the extra
cost? 

* My old router had one external antenna.  Now it seems most have
internal antennas and also have 2 instead of 1.  Are there any Cons to
having the antennas internal vs external? Does having 2 antennas
improve reception?

My setup is as follows:

Router at back end of house (Staying put, "can't" move)
Boom (wireless) in the middle of the house
SB3 (wireless) at the other end, front of the house.

Have not had any real reception issues with the Boom or SB3.  Have been
having issues lately with a recently purchased Controller.  But that's
another thread for another day.

So, like I said, happy with the OLD Linksys model's
reception/broadcast, but need to replace it soon.

So please let me hear you on some wireless router recommendations.

Thanks for everyone's input!
