I have a wireless modem/router, the Linksys WAG54GP2 (http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?e=91462) which I got because I'm on Xnet's Fusion plan (naked DSL), and the integrated analogue phone adaptor made things pretty straightforward. However, it's limited to the 802.11G protocol, and I'm thinking of moving up to 802.11N, so the network traffic will be faster and better suited for media streaming between devices.

Is it possible/straightforward to link the existing modem/router to a new wireless-N router, so that the internal traffic is routed through the N router, and from there to the Linksys and through the phone line? Is it going to cause any difficulties in terms of IP addressing? And if I go with a new router, what router would you recommend?

Cheers
