This is true of any wireless N routers I've seen but look for this note in the description / feature list.
"Is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b/g devices."

Using a N router with your N800 yields no benefits. You can spend the money if you want, but you won't get any faster throughput. I recommend picking up a Linksys WRT54GL or a Buffalo WHR-G125 and running DD-WRT on it.

Or Asus WL-500gx or gP. It has two USB2.0 ports for connecting various stuff (hdd, camera, printer) and runs linux too.

I got a netgear wnr854t, an N router. Many problems with it, doesn't work too well with windows vista. Or should I say vista doesn't work with the router well. Anyway, save your money. Not much difference in WiFi speed. The gigabit port on it works great though.
Nokia works with it with no problem with no speed gain from a G router. But if you got vista I stay away from the wnr854t.
