Chapter 3. In-Depth on Wi-Fi > Tweaking Your Network for Faster Performance
3.3. Tweaking Your Network for Faster Performance
The iPhone 4 and the fourth-generation iPod touch are the first models in their lines to have functional 802.11n networking; the third-generation iPod touch apparently has an 802.11n chip, but that faster mode isn’t enabled.
While 802.11n can support two different frequency bands—2.4 gigahertz (GHz) and 5 GHz—Apple opted to include just 2.4 GHz support in the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch. But you can still take advantage of 802.11n’s improved speed, and rearrange a home or small-office network to boost network performance.
