Can I do wireless G & N at the same time?

[bbadalucco]

If I have one of the new Airport Extreme Base Stations can I use it for the following:

1 laptop running wireless G
1 laptop (New MBP) running wireless N

-running at the same time?

Thanks

yes, that's the point of dual-band.

Good.

Within Airport under the "Wireless" tab do I just set the "Radio Mode" to Automatic???

Can I tell on my MBP if I'm using Wireless N?

it depends on what devices you want connected to your AEBS. I currently have it set as follows: 802.11n only (5 Ghz) - 802.11b/g

This is so that i could connect to it using my iPhone, Wii, PS3, ATV while using my TC solely on N on 5Ghz channel.

Under "Radio Mode" my options are as follows:

Automatic
802.11a/n - 802.11b/g
802.11a - 802.11b/g

I don't even see the option you mentioned???

Hey Farseide, your info has been super helpful to me so far. Let me ask you, im running alot of equipment too, from PS3 to PSP and TV and such. I for some reason, cannot get my PSP to connect. Any idea why? I had no problem with my Netgear N router but I keep getting DNS error (I know DNS error is what the PS family uses for their errors) but i mean what setting would cause my PSP not to connect?

Edit: Anybody with a PSP, hit up this thread.
