My BEFSR41 connects directly up to my DSL in the cellar. My Airport extreme is in the office upstairs. My WRT54G is in the entertainment system in the living room.

I'm facing a similar issue relating to having g/n devices on same network. I thought I was escaping the issue by hard wiring my tivos to a new n base station and using wireless between the new base station and my already purchased n compatible imac, but now I realize my iphone will slow the network down. Glad to see there is a solution, though I'm sure I'll have some questions once I actually try to set them up. Thanks again. Thanks for posting this.

The problem with putting my iPod touch on my 802.11n network is that the speed of the 802.11n network would be crippled. In other words, the 802.11n network would be slowed down to the 802.11g speed (what the touch supports). My setup allows me to add 802.11g devices to the g network and 802.11n devices to the n network. Andy,

Why not just a single wireless router (the Airport Extreme, for instance)? Your MacBook and iPod would both use it for wireless. And if you had two wired devices in another room, just get a $15 ethernet switch, no need for a full-fledged router, right? What's the advantage of your setup?
