I only ask as I have a wireless "N" router as well and found there is no change to the range in our installation. It maybe possible that you had a previously bad router before upgrading the "N". All 5 of my PC's and Laptops at "G".
Before I bought my 'N' I did a lot of reading about them and asked a lot of questions.
Here is what I read and was told:
'Apparently' because the 'N' router has a more powerful signal strength it is able to pick up an A,B, or G signal easier from a PC without signal loss.

The A,B or G PC is still sending it's normal signal but being picked up easier by a better reciever (the 'N' Router).

The A,B or G PC is recieving a stronger than normal signal (from the 'N' Router).

I don't know why It doesn't work good the other way (A,B or G Router to an 'N' PC). I'm not a Radio Technician, but apparently it doesn't.

I got the V8 analogy from a guy at Officeworks
