I haven't tried N only. Most of my devices are 2 years old or less. Is it likely they have N support?
I was having issues with it set to auto. In auto mode it was horrible for my old desktop and printer (which is new).
That depends on the device. A couple of years go, most new devices should support N, but my 3 year old Google Nexus One doesn't. Also, another consideration is encryption. If you're running N, then WPA2 is mandatory. If you have devices that support only WPA, or worse WEP, then they won't be able to connect. If you configure for plain WPA, then that router is not supposed to have N available.
My old desktop had lost connectivity this morning and I had to reset the wireless in it to get it to reconnect. I'll give pure N a try in a day or two. The wireless device that dropped overnight is a USB transmitter that is G only, so I will try replacing it with a N device. I know what the basic difference between N150 / N300 / N450 / etc. If I don't care about speed, just reliability and range, does it matter what Nxxx I get?
