So depending what your router actually goes into could have an effect if no actual G clients connected and using the bandwidth at there slower speed. Now if no clients actually connected there is mixed or protection mode, etc. For example guard interval of 400ns vs 800ns, frame aggregation, etc. Many of these new features can not be used if you have to allow for clients that do not understand them.

Some people think its not an issue, while the protocol and just common sense tells you differently ) There were many changes to the protocol from G to N. There have been many a discussion about performance hit of mixed mode. Seems like? heheheeh - you will find some conflicting opinions to be sure around here. "Seems like having it Mixed was part of the problem."
