Performance Hit on mixed N/G

[James Howlett]

Hey, I wanna set up a single network to allow file sharing through several Computers, two G only and one N only. How much of a performance hit will I get if I use a Time Capsule with and external HDD to Share on the network. Or should I just set up two networks for the two types and not bother with the file sharing.

I haven’t done any recent research on the topic but I seem to recall that a mixed g and n network maxes out at g speeds, even between the n router and an n wireless adapter.
