What does changing router settings from "Mixed Mode" in Network Manager to " Wireless B/G only" affect?

I am having some issues with my desktop connection on Ubuntu 14.04. Out of all of my devices in my household, including Windows 7 that is on a separate partition on this same machine, Ubuntu is the only problem child. My Wifi signal fluctuates and sometimes drops. I'm now at the point where it is being suggested that I change my Network Mode in 2.4GHZ from the current "Mixed Mode" to Wireles B/G only. How will this affect the rest of my home network connectivity?
EDIT: Wrong thread, will post in Network

I was thinking that was how it worked. Thank you. Is there a typo in your answer though? Is it supposed to be " G= 54mbps"? I get well over 100 mbps, so I am guessing that going to B/G only will limit me to 54mbps, is that correct?
