[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1081645, member: 56379"] Hey Schweb (or anyone else)...as you mentioned (if I understand correctly) the "dual radio feature" on the $179 Airport Express base station allows your "N" devices to operate at the higher "N" speeds...while allowing you to use "G" devices on the same network (without slowing down the "N" devices). So does this mean that the $99 dollar Airport Express base station (and most other "N" routers)...if you have both "N" & "G" devices on the same network...that the "G" devices will slow things down...and thus the "N" devices won't operate at full "N" speeds? Another option. If someone already has a "G" router...and wants to get a newer "N" router...would it seem feasible to have both routers running at the same time (in the same home)...and have both a "G" and an "N" network. So that the "N" devices would log into the "N" network, and the "G" devices would log into the "G" network? Obviously the $179 dollar Apple Express Base Station makes this MUCH easier...but for us "cheap-skates"...maybe the "dual-router" setup I described could be a solution for a mixed wireless (N & G) household.
