I have a wireless N router at home and a N card in my Laptop. It really helps with the range. I didn't have any issues before, but since I had the N card (for 'a' band at school) I got the N router for home when mine died. I can be 5-6 houses down at the park and get a good wireless signal.

My router is the extended range model from Linksys though, which may be some of that range.

Edit: Forgot to mention that upgrading your router and or wireless card to N isn't really worth IMHO it unless you are already in the market for new equipment. To replace a working card or router with them doesn't make sense in my mind, especially considering the driver issues i experienced with my internal card.
