Will running multiple 802.11g devices slow down the N devices connections?

I’ve read that wireless networks only run as fast as their slowest connection. Is this true? I bought the dual band Asus RT-N66U and will have 3 G devices running on it along with 8 N devices. Will the N devices run slower than if those G devices were also N? Is there some way to separate them?

If you run a mixture of B, G, and N devices, then the presence of the B units
will slow all communications. In the case of G devices, they should not slow
down the N communications, other than the competition for air time. The AP will
use the correct settings that are negotiated with each station. Remember, these
are half-duplex radios and they will interfere with each other, even if all of
them are N devices.

The only way to separate them is to run two different APs on different channels.

Thank you. I’m only running G and N so it should be fine.
