Hello all!

So here's the short story:

1. I have a Wireless N network setup usng an Airport Extreme Base Station that I use for my MacBook Pro and my PowerMac G5 (which connects via ethernet cable)

2. I have a couple of devices that don't have Wireless N capability that I would also like to run wireless, but without sacrificing the speed on the other N devices.

So...

Can I setup a 2nd wireless network that broadcasts Wireless G that those slower devices can connect to without interfering with my Wireless N network?

If so, what might that look like? Hooking a 2nd router into one of the ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme Base station and then having the other devices connect to that router instead of the AEBS? Any possible problems I should know about in advance?

Thanks!
Evan
