Wireless N and G speed issue on dual band wrt610n

I just bought the linksys wrt610n. Its a dual band router so it broadcasts in 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I went in and manually set up the router so that the 5ghz channel is wireless N only and the 2.4ghz channel is mixed. Each channel has its own ssid. Anywho, in my house I have both N and G devices, if I have a wireless G device, the whole network will slow down to G speed (54mbps), So I made the 5ghz channel be N only, so that I can get the 300mbps speed on the N channel. Basically I want to know if I set both G and N channels to mixed, vs N only, will I get the slow down of a G device?

Thanks
 
there is no G on 5ghz only A and N

but yeah one single B or G device can slow down your 2.4ghz to a crawl.

including your neighbors on similar channels
 
If you have different ssid you're not getting the perfomance on n. N works best by using both frequencies together.
 
Well, I have my two broadcasting SSID's. Ross HomeN ( N, 5ghz) and Ross Home ( 2.4 ghz G mixed). When I connect to the N only network, I get 300 mbps, but the connection area is small. I still have a few G devices, and if I set both 5ghz and 2.4 ghz channels to mixed, im going to loose the full speed of N right?
 
5ghz requires double the power output as 2.4ghz to have equal range. so you get 50% range with 802.11a/N on 5ghz
