N is the latest type of wireless connection. It allows for throughput at up to 108Mbps. G is the most common type that runs up to 54Mbps. And just for completeness, B was the first generation at 11Mbps. Keep in mind that no one ever sees those speeds, they are theoretical maximums.
Mbps is Megabits per second. More here: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/M/Mbps.html

Well you can run at those speeds if you have matching adapters and are using it on just a lan setup. But if you go outside of your lan to a man (metroploitan network) or wan (wide area network...aka the internet) then you wont run at those speeds but at the speeds of the network and your isp.
