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.

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.
