What does your home network look like since getting an iPhone?

(My Time Capsule hosted an n-only network, until a little over a month ago when I realized what was preventing my new iPhone from connecting to the network. After downgrading to b/g compatible, I'm looking into going back to a 5 GHz n-only for the sake of speed. Then I was thinking about digging out my old dome ABS and hosting a second wireless network, b/g, simply for my iPhone.)

I'm still on a B/G router since nothing I own supports N, anyway.

Heh, since you asked, I'll bring out my network topology map again. Click to enlarge:



I have 1 router, and 3 access points, all connected by powerline networking. The map above shows the router and 2 access points. The third one is in the backyard.

In your case, I'd just run an extra cheap access point at 2.4 GHz with 802.11g (with DHCP turned off for the latter) for your iPhone. You can even attach it directly to your n router if you want.

Fairly simple since getting a Touch. Cable modem > APE n only > serving an ATV over ethernet, a MBP C2D over n, and an APExpress g only bridged over ethernet.

g serves the Touch.

Thanks for the suggestions. Cold, do you have any apps on your Touch that sync over WiFi? I have 1Password and sync it frequently to my MBP. If my MBP is on n-only to my TC and my iPhone is in g-only to my AE, would I have any issues connecting the iPhone to the MBP on the network? (Sorry if this is a stupid question.)
