[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 792020, member: 6074"] There really isn't any benefit of having an 802.11n capable iPhone since there are no file transfers taking place over the WiFi that require such speed. I don't think they will add that capability anytime soon. But I could be wrong. :) You could add an Airport Express, set it up to be an 802.11g router. Plug in it's ethernet connection to your existing router so it will get an IP address, give it a different SSID (ie: If your current one is MyWireless, make it MyWirelessG on the Express). In my network, I have an 802.11g Airport in my shop that feeds the Express in my kids room, and in my office in the house is my 802.11n Airport that feeds the Time Capsule and AppleTV and is set for "N only". Therefore when I'm home, my iPhone uses the signal provided for by the Express (or Base Station if I'm in my shop). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
