But if you still have some legacy G, other than spending more money for a G AP - sure run mixed mode. Which now all your clients that have support N for years can use that. Lets say your old G router died, doesn't make a lot of sense to get G again. Running mixed mode is not a good solution, unless you have no other choice. And will still be good practice when we go to AD.

This is been good advice when we went from B to G, G to N and now N to AC. What I would recommend to anyone that is moving from G to N or even AC - just keep your older router and use it as AP to provide access to your older clients that do not support the new protocol. What does it matter all that much if your internet is only G speeds anyway ) You are always better to be in native N then Mixed environment, be it you will notice a the performance hit or not. 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.'
