wireless router

Anyone know of a wireless router that has a usb connection so the internet connection can be via a mobile broadband dongle.

Need to connect a playstation 3 to the internet via this set up, if it exists

I see they are using wireless-N, is that better than wireless-G ?

When I got mine I was told wireless-G was the bees knees. have things moved on.

nice routers foggy.....problem is I think they only accept ethernet modems, the USB adapter part on them is for connecting to the router itself, rather than being able to plug a 3G usb modem into the router and use it to connect to the net.
I'll look and see if I can find that review i mentioned before

Scruff: yes wireless N is a new standard (not yet ratified) when it is ratified it will be referred to as 802.11n, I think the next one is 802.11i (might be off on that one though)
