Will a Wireless G signal booster improve the signal strength from an N router?
It’s hard to know which type of signal booster you are referring to. Some are repeaters and some act as additional access points connected by cable to the router. The latter (extra access point) is more reliable, but must be cabled. It should work reliably with all routers. If you are talking about a repeater, then they work by receiving the radio signal and repeating it out stronger. They don’t always work that well, you must check and see. They do not usually allow WPA security, which is the only one that is truly safe. WEP security is easily cracked. But yes a G can work with N. What it will do is force your router into G mode, then relay the signal in G form, not N. Before buying a repeater, you must make sure that the signal booster model you are considering claims to work with your router. To be sure, buy the same brand as the router and check at their website.
