Does a Wireless-N router improve the range when connected to Wireless-G clients?

Wireless N units often have more powerful radios and/or multiple antennas to extend range. That can provide a larger 802.11g wireless coverage area, allowing you to reach full 802.11g speeds at greater distances.

If your 802.11n router and network adapter support 802.11g MIMO, that is another feature you can take advantage of without an 802.11n card. For example, Atheros' older 802.11g MIMO implementation is supported by Atheros' newest 802.11n chipset. It is also compatible with the MIMO implementation in Intel's newest Centrino chipset, found in Core2 Duo notebooks.

As a general statment this is simley Not True.

This is highly questionable too.

On the other hand since you can not fit a s directioanl Antanna on real MIMO concoction, and or, there is No perN repeaters.

Extending range with preN is a problem.

I bought D-Link DIR-655 wireless N router for my USRobotics "G" and D-Link also "G" adapter, also going to use another 2 wired PC's (4 total) from NewEgg, do you think i made the right choice spending $130 for it?

655 is Gigabit on the LAN line. G should only goes up to 54Mbps unless you tweak athero chipset to use super G to pull the speed up to 108Mbps. None of your PCs have draft N then it was such a waste. Consider getting DGL-4300, more option on QoS. Cheers.
