If you are not sharing files or streaming media within your own network - ie between your own computers - then not really. A 54G wireless network should be capable to up to 20Mb/s which is all you have on the other side of the modem. An N router may get the data from the router to the PC quicker but will still be limited by the 20Mb broadband.
If you feel the need to change hardware, look for a 54G with speedboost (same make router and adapter), such as a WRT54GS and equivalent adapter.
That's my opinion.
