I'm moving to it

Well, if all you do is check email and write blog posts all day - then yeah, g is fine.

BUT - if you ever intend on watching high-def video or play games, then even g is not enough. You'll want n.

WiMAX is interesting, BUT:

-No computer we have supports it. New cards/dongles would be needed for everybody.

-It looks very much like it'll get bogged down when too many people are on it. The city-sized radius means there's a single point that has to handle all of the traffic.

So - yeah, we're moving to N, and to gigabit ethernet for my gaming machine (no, I don't game on wireless, thanks).

"WPA-PSK - only available on b/g wireless modes."

That's strange - my n router (Netgear) supports all encryption modes on all speeds. I'd say it's not the standard as much as it is the manufacturer.
