N is a significant upgrade. Mine goes through 3 floors and covers the whole house + backyard through exterior walls.

I live in a one bedroom condo. My wireless G router gives me full signal everywhere in my place, so I have no need to upgrade. For what it's worth, my girlfriend's iPad works great at my place--full reception and no dropouts.
So I'm hoping it's the WEP issue with her router (also in a small condo) as noted above--mines on WPA so that could be it.
Extra N strength would be a negative in a condo setting I'd think--just that many more people in other units who can see your network and possibly try to hack through your security.
But yeah, for a big house it may be worth upgrading.
