Wireless N with mixed devices?

[wickedking94]

I'm considering buying a wireless N router but i'm curious of one thing:
I have a macbook pro with wireless N, but another computer in my house is only wireless G. If were both connected at the same time will my macbook still get the full speed of wireless N, or will having a wireless G connected slow it down to G speeds?

The g will slow it down unless you get a simultaneous dual-band router like the Airport Extreme Base Station.

How bad will it slow down though? will the N connection still be faster than if i was connecting using G? The reason i want to know is because i can get a single band router for 34$ and a dual band is around 50-70$. Would a wireless router with two antennas work?

I believe flopticalcube is correct that you will need an actual dual band router.

It will be slower but not as slow as the g. If all you are doing is connecting to the internet then it won't make a difference anyhow.
