Once I listened in a MacFormat Podcast that iPhone's connecting to modem's that doesn't support 802.11n standart slow down the general speed on the network. Is it really true? If a switch to a modern modem that supports all the standards would I get better speeds when an iPhone is connected? |

Any b or g rated device that connects to an N rated network will bring the speed down to b/g. By using a dual-band router you can create a b/g or just g network AND an N network so you can connect your devices to the appropriate network based on thier capability. One of the alternatives to getting a new router is to add an N rated device capable of creating it's own network and attach that by cable to your existing kit. E.g. you could connect an Airport Express to your b/g router and have it create an N wireless network for your N devices and retain your existing G network too.
