I have both a new Airport base station that works as 802.11n and I also have an old Airport that works on 802.11g/b. I have Powerbooks and an AppleTV. How do I set up the network so that both frequencies can work simultaneously?

But I have an AppleTV so I want the new Airport Extreme to run on n only so that it gets full speed, then have the older airport serve g/b for the Powerbooks.

Ah, then I think you need two networks.
