Hi all,

I have an 802.11n AirPort Extreme (not dual radio) and a 802.11n AirPort Express. The AirPort extreme hosts the internet connection and I have the AirPort express connected to a switch ultimately connecting to the AirPort Extreme. I want to have both N only and G only wireless networks in my house. I have set the AirPort Extreme to host a wireless connection in "802.11n only 5GHz mode." I have set the AirPort Express to Bridge Mode and hosted a Wireless network in "802.11n (b/g compatible)." Is this the correct mode if I want g-equipped devices to connect to this network only? After making this change, my iPhone no longer sees any wireless networks. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

the way that you have it (N - b/g compatible) should work, if you want to make it truly b/g only, alt-click on the radio mode, and that option will show up.
