New Around Here
I have read myself into confusion. I wanted to get 2 of the Netgear WNDR3400 to upgrade my current setup.

My current setup:
cable modem -- g router(also does my VOIP and NOT DD-WRT compatible) -- bunch of switches that do all my wired stuff
i have a Linksys WRT54G-TM with DD-WRT set up as a client bridge 300 feet away with line of site (2 windows is all it goes thru) that connects to the g router
I then have a netgear g router wired to the linksys to spread wireless signal around that area (didn't want the reduced bandwidth of repeater bridge mode)
New setup:
I wanted to improve the bandwidth and simplify things a bit by getting the 2 new netgear 3400's to bridge in "5.0 N" and then spread wireless around each end of bridge in "2.4 N" on the other radio.
But now i have been reading where people are saying that the netgear doesn't really do 2 radios in "n". that the 5.0 is n, but the 2.4 is "g".
I would keep my g router(VOIP) as a AP to keep my "g" things out of the way of "n"
Can anyone help me out here. Or suggest a better way to do what I am looking for. Staples has some good coupons and I have some ink rewards to use up, so i was going to be getting these 3400's for about $50 total for both. (plus sell my dd-wrt for about 40)
I need to make a decision before the coupon runs out in a day or two. TIA
