Wireless Router Question

Is a B/G (which I don't know what it means, or the significance) the standard type of wireless?

However, upon looking at the specs for the 120 gig Slim, it says "802.11b/g Wi-Fi" compatable.

So while I have no idea what the significance of an N router is, I suppose I don't even need to worry about that.

So my last couple questions I suppose, are:

IS B/G and N the only 'type' of router?
Does the price of the router (comparing B/G to B/G and N to N) only really mean the signal reaches farther, essentially?

N is just an updated version of the 802.11 standard. It's like a new version basically. It's faster and the signal strength is better. If your ps3 says 802.11b/g Wi-Fi compatible then you'll be fine with a router that just says "B/G" on it. I was just trying to say that you shouldn't even consider buying a router that says N on it because you'd be wasting your money. So that eliminates all of the more expensive routers from the list of routers you might be looking at.
