The g or n refers to the IEEE standard better known as 802.11g or 802.11n. The 802.11n provides a better throughput (faster data transfer) than the 802.11g. The computer your are using (either desktop of lap top) must be able to handle the 802.11n in order for you to take advantage of the speed increase. 802.11n is backward compatible to 802.11g so if you have an n router / switch you can use it with a g computer or lap top.

If you have a lap top or desktop that supports 802.11n or may be upgrading in the future but need the wifi now I would go with something like the D-Link DIR-655. I have the router / switch on my home network and have no problems with it.
