Right. It was a 2.4GHz but the ones I replaced it with were also 2.4, just with the spread spectrum stuff. 802.11n wireless networking will be running in the 5GHz range so the newer phones only buy you a little time. I gave my old phone to my inlaws to put in their garage which is detached and away from their wireless network. Also it only seemed to interfere when in use. So if I picked up the phone my wireless connection on my MacBook went dead.
