If you are moving to 50 meg then the "g" speed wireless may become limiting. Theoretically "g" is fast enough but in practice your close to it's limit and thus you might want an "n" router.
"n" can also, perhaps, operated at better distances since many of these routers are dual band so are less at risk of interference.
the 10/100 wired ports are fine for most networks, but if you move loads of big files you might want gigabit wired ports?
We regularly used to suggest Linksys WRT54G range of routers as being fine for cable. It's only in the last year or two with the greater adoption of "n" wireless and 50 meg that this model is limiting for some users. But that is true of all "g" speed routers.

802.11G isn't even close to good enough for 50Mbit and maxes at about 24Mbit. The 54Mbit figure is a long way away from actual best case throughput.
Hit Google to find out why Rob but technically you're a very long way out on this one, and if you're going to advise on technical issues like wireless throughputs a quick look into the actual throughputs of the various standards is wise. There are a massive number of overheads that cut down the theoretical 54Mbps throughput of 802.11G. That is nothing more than a headline 'sync speed' figure.
