Does a 802.11n network drop everything to 802.11g speeds if...

Asked by budgetblinds in Wireless Technologies, 802.11x, Wireless Standards

I have someone telling me that if you have a 802.11N network, and connect just one device that is 802.11G to it, that the 802.11N router will then pass ALL traffic, to any devices, even N based ones, at G only speed & throughput. This sounds like a bad design flaw if it's indeed true. Can someone please verify this one way or the other for me ? Perhaps this is or was the case for an early N draft ? Or perhaps a certain vendors hardware ?

Thanks
