Hi William I can just about figure out what you're trying to say here. But I'm amazed that your router won't support both bands at once, most modern routers do because it's necessary for fallback compatibility.
Yes, the Mac supports both frequency ranges because, as I said, it is backwards compatible. But what you're saying proves that the iPhone does not support the 5GHZ wireless-N protocol. So if your router won't support both at once, you have 2 options: 1. Stick with Wireless-G and be done with it. 2. Jump on that router and buy yourself a proper one! :) Even the Time Capsules and Airport base stations which, although alright for most residential network configurations, are very slow and clunky switches for high speed traffic. But they do support both bands simultaneously at least. Gordon On 21 Oct 2011, at 08:25, william lomas wrote: Gordon with mine, see, i think, i have to set it to either or. So if I set it to the 2.4 ghz when I log in, I see the iPhone connecting to it, yet as my iMac i assume has an N enabled card? it flawless with the five ghz yet the iPhone isn't. very strange, never mind <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
