advantage of 2 distinct wirless networks?

[thnmnt]

i know that wireless b devices on a wireless g network slow down the overall
perfomance of the network (squeezeboxen etc.) would i solve this problem by
buying a cheap wireless b access point to use solely with my old legacy b
devices use? everything else would be on the g network.

This sounds like a market opportunity to me. Surely someone makes a dual b/g
wlan router that can do this?

I'm sure they do, but they most likely cost $$$ (think Cisco).

You can pick up 11b WAPs for not much at all these days so it's more
cost effective to have two boxes.
