WiFi router recommend?

[reburns]

G'day -

I'm hoping for wifi router recommendations. My use:

- home office is the day job location, in a wood house.
- have wired D-link gigabit switch at desk
- have legacy "G" laptops & devices currently.
- might someday add wifi squeezebox stereo appliance one floor below, but only maybe.
- use encription (currently WEP, might like WPA or others)
- windoze XP

I value range in the wifi without drops. I see this site, but if someone had boiled down the thick info to a punch line, that would be great:

I may have read that the new "N" routers have slow "G" encripted throughput, is that true? Can these be used for "G" and "N" simultaneously? No Linksys for me, thanks.

these look appealing at first blush:
D-Link DGL-4500
D-Link DIR-655
Apple Airport Extreme

- thx folks
