What router do you have?
If you are running a mixed (B/G/N) network, if a G device connects, then for most routers (single band) this will bring the network down to G speed. Some routers are dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) and can run simultaneous devices at G and N, leaving the N devices at N speeds.
Finally, the whole G-N business is ONLY relevant if you're doing lots of data transfers on your LAN between computers. Most home internet connections are well below G (and even B) speeds so it will not affect your internet connection speed.
The advantage for EVO N support is that it means your network won't go to G speeds if all your other devices are N.
lets not get too technical. OP and others just wants to be able to verify that others can connect to N networks so lets keep the topic about that and not about throughput speeds mmk? 
as far as "mix mode" i.e. running g and n devices on the 2.4ghz band, the linksys e3000 will not throttle down N devices to G speeds. both can live in the same bandwidth and have different "resolutions" or data rates. they wont all default to the lowest common denominator. these newer routers have like 6 or 7 antennas in them..
each persons network is going to be different however we CAN confirm that the evo will connect to N officially with an unrooted stock device. just make sure you are running 2.4ghz N or else you can only connect to G networks.

I can see it report N speeds, but every speed test (local ftp transfer, internet, etc) seems to be capped at around 15mbps. This is real world transfer not reported wireless link speed. I don't think the device can handle high thoroughput and having N on it is moot. Sprint isnt explicitly advertising this because its useless. It can't process transfers faster than a G link thus N doesn't matter.

Exactly!
guys, once again the question is CAN the evo connect to N. the answer is yes. it has been answered and verified several times. lets not get into specifics with data throughput as its beyond the scope of this post.
if others want to chime in with what routers they are using and have had success with then feel free. otherwise lets leave the data speed discussion out.

I don't understand why you keep posting that the discussion is going off topic.
The OP asked what routers and what kind of success. If you don't talk about data speed how else do you plan on discussing success and how well N works? As far as I can tell, the whole thread is on topic.
Unless a discussion goes way off topic.. please don't "moderate" unnecessarily.

I have the same hardware setup but Miami doesn't have docsis 3 yet. Looking forward to the bump in speed. It's pretty fast now as it is.

With all due respect, how is a discussion of data throughput speeds "Off topic?" Are not data through speeds the criteria by which 802.11 A, B, G, and N are defined? This is a discussion about the capacity of the Evo to operate on 802.11 N. Any real or perceived improvements to through speeds would most certainly be relevant.
guys relax. what im warning against is not to get into a discussion about theoretical speeds. just post success with N use and what router. this is what the thread OP asked.
now lets please not continue this discussion on this thread. if someone wants to discuss with me, lets do so via PM.
apologies to others for the off topic...
as you were...

so which of these do i want? (i tried the one highlighted and its killed my network and took me nearly an hour to fix, it was like using dial up again)

Dont limit the conversation to arbitrary limitations because the next question will be "Why am I only able to download at G speeds on my N connected router?!?!"

Actually, Yes, I am pretty sure it does. I have read from several threads/posts here that it will support WiFi N. I believe that this was part of the first or second OTA update. I cannot confirm becuase I dont have an N router. But, if you look on here, there are several people that have reported they are using wireless N on their EVO.

Make sure you're broadcasting the SSID, to pick it up automatically. Also, make sure you're using the 2.5Ghz frequency range. To the best of my knowledge other frequency ranges do not work.
