Go with the combo deal, this and the WRT150 Refurb for $52 unless you already have an N router. Available on the same page this links to.

Still, a decent price for N adapter if you have cardbus. My notebooks use the ExpressCard interface.

are N products interoperable with all AP's or is it like the late g products with channel bonding and not interoperable with certain AP's?

They are interoperable, you'll just won't connect or benefit from the N features (range and/or speed).

If your laptop is still sporting cardbus, you've probably got some other upgrade concerns higher on the list. Still a nice price.

Do you need both an N router AND this to get the extended range of N, or will an N wireless router give me better range with my laptop that has a G card in it? Not talking speed, just range. Tx

I believe you'll need the N laptop adapter as well (as it has a built in antenna as well)...
