Hello All,
Can you be connected to the same Airport Extreme at 802.11n on one computer, and 802.11a/b/g on others? Thanks for the help!

Yes. Any machine not capable of 802.11N will default to whatever speed it's capable of receiving at. 802.11N is backward compatible with the slower standards.

Regards.

But I think that if you have one device connected at less than n, such as a/b/g, an additional n-device will also only connect at that slower speed and not n.

That's correct.
