802.11n Greenfield Mode - AEBS

I only see two options during the configuration of an AEBS. I am looking for a way to turn off B/G/A clients, and force clients to use N. Any way to do this via Apple hardware? the 5ghz option peels off the b/g, but still leaves A. Any advise would be appreciated.

Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup


Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons


Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Radio Mode selection box and all possible combinations of radio modes will be displayed


The 5 GHz settings are on the left of the "-" (dash) and the 2.4 GHz settings are on the right


As you will see, there is no way to "turn off" either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz mode. Both will always be on, it's just a matter of deciding what exact settings that you want to use.
