I was just wondering for those people who have N routers can you connect both N and G at the same time with out either of them dropping?
Case:
Wireless N Laptop (T500)
Wireless G Desktop (HP)
Nintendo Wii G
Xbox 360 G
maybe a Zune?
I know N routers are backwards compatable, but will I get N speeds with G devices connected? just wondering before I go and over haul my 4year old G network. (I might need the extra range and speed of N when I move).
All help appreciated!

Most N routers will have more than one antena. The Belkin I am using now has 3 and all is well it runs the laptop on N and the PSP on b and has the g (but I dont use that).

The router wouldn't be able to broadcast G and N frequency signals at the same time. If you do run G devices on the network, N devices will downgrade to G.

There are dual G/N routers available, and AFAIK, you can connect G and N at the same time, and not drop the 802.11n speed. Unless you have one of those routers, then (as Bog stated), you drop to G when any G computer connects.
connect G and N devices at the same time
