Unfortunately having checked my girlfriends laptop she only has a 11g adaptor. If I go ahead and by an 11n router I'm going to end up running a mixed network, which as I understand it will slow the network down.
I'm no expert on wireless networks so any advice would be appreciated.
Having a mixed g/n network shouldn't slow it down anywhere near as much as a mixed b/g network. In fact I doubt you'll notice the difference from a greenfield n network.
(Thankfully, I am sat today in amongst 20-odd wireless experts with PhDs in the stuff - you picked the right day to ask the question).
