Your router also supports g. So any device that supports g should work. Now if you want an n device, wait for the Sony T1 later this year (probably October). According to the publicly available FCC documents, it will have wireless b/g/n.

All N routers are also G routers, so they will work with the nook. Although N is much faster than G, when you download a book (which is usually in the range 0.5-2 Mbytes), it makes next to no difference whether you are on N or G. Besides, the bottleneck is usually your cable/ISP provider (G is good for up to 24Mb/s).

Although I do not own a Nook, my question is more related to the router than the nook.

I thought the N protocol, being a latter version then the G, would be backwards compatible with anything that came before it, meaning that G, B and A protocols. Is the N not compatible with the G? G can get up to 25mbps? My verizon fios can go as high as 15mbps this sheds a little light on the router speeds, most routers that I would buy for my home are much faster than any speed my service provider, even fiber optic, can provide.

The Nook Simple Touch supports wireless n. I copied this text from the Barnes and Noble "specs" page for the Nook:

Most routers and most wifi enables devices do not support A. But N routers do also support B/G.
