my laptop has a broadcom chip that supports afterburn wich i think is the same thing as speedbooster. i also have a pc with a wirless g usb running from my wr54gs. by mixing g with gs will the router default to g only mode.

Yes, the Speedbooster technology is based off the Afterburner technology. You should have the router in a default "mixed" mode so that the laptop will have the GS speeds and the PC will have the G speeds...

Actually you want G only, so 11b will not degrade you performace.

Mixed mode is for users with 11b hardware. As you know 11b is a huge bottle neck. So rejecting all 11b devices keeps the speed set on HI, so 11g works better.

so i can run g and gs working from the same router and the gs clients will not be affected at all.

Site3op said yes.

Generally all clients must match (mfg). Same chipset may be find.
