Plus, you get the N speed and signal strength/distance advantage. That is, if you have N-capable NICs. I believe I paid $100 for the 150N about a year or so ago, so it may be cheaper now..and I remember the price difference between the 54G and the 150N not being very much at all...and that's why I went ahead and got the 150N. I know this question was on linux router distros, but since you said something about buying a new router, the 54G, I thought I might share my experience with mine. You could also use the alternative distros with the 150N. Hope this helps!
