Can your NAS be hard-wired over Ethernet or is it one of those wireless only units? If you can hard-wire it I would try it over 100mb or 1000mb and try to find the units limit, If its 6MB/s then you know wireless N should be fine, if the max speed is about 4MB/s or slower then you may find its not worth the investment in N for 1MB/s increase.
Most HD videos I have watched can stream comfortably over 54G for one stream though you wont be able to do much more with the wireless than browsing the internet (No fast downloads) or the video will start to stutter. If you find your NAS is fast enough and you have the need for multiple video streams or more intense use of the wireless for other uses (Or users) at the same time then N may be an option.

Thats right because if the router is 54G then the maximum total bandwidth is 3MB/s so the wired connection to the router between the NAS is redundant.
