I have 3 g clients on my network that I cannot change to n for reasons too long to get into here. 2 of these clients communicate constantly, just tiny little bursts of data but at least one a second.
Given this warning about mixing g and n clients:

I was wondering if I'd see a benefit by attaching n APs to these clients and turning off their g radios? These clients can all be operated wired off an AP.
It'd be nice to use Belkin F7D5301s because I see them on sale for $17 right now :p but it looks like those can't be used as an AP and they have an upright form factor which wouldn't work for one of the clients.
Failing that, ASUS RT-N12/Bs are $35 now - they can act as an AP right out of the box but will also take alternative firmware.
Any suggestions for good, cheap n APs? Speed is not much of a concern, nor is pulling in a good signal (I have an RT-N66U and excellent signal coverage throughout the house). I just want to remove g clients from the network so I can run all n.
Would it be worth it?
