The system is smart enough to only take in as much as it can handle. It's like plugging in any USB 2 device into it, it isn't going to try and gulp all 480Mbits a second, it'll throttle the device to it's managable 12MBytes a second, and not let anything pass. Plugging in a 54Mbit per second device into a 12MByte port won't do squat to hurt it. The advantage is the ability to use encryption, and connect to newer wifi spots. (Oh... and 54Mbit = about 6.25MByte)
