802.11n is different from 802.11g which is different from 802.11b which is... ad infinitum.

Most routers and computers, if they support 802.11n, will also support 802.11g, and will also support 802.11b. But, not all computers and routers that support 802.11g will support 802.11n.

802.11a is basically the same as 802.11n, but it is designed to operate on a 5GHz frequency instead of a 2.4GHz frequency. To complicate things even more, 802.11n works on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

At any rate, yes, Time Capsule will work over 802.11g, but it will be slow.
