Hi, First, I have a SMC WGBR14-N router that operates only at 2.4Ghz.
I have several different routers that are G only. Is there a way I can connect two routers and have one operate at G only and one at N only?
That would make my network faster, no?
thankins

Yes you can do that.
Plug the N router into your cable modem box or DSL box. Then plug in G router into the N router. Make sure to put the G router in bridge mode (done within settings) - this way any client that connects to the G network will see all the clients on the N network.
You of course will have two wireless networks. One for your N network and one for your g network.
