"You likely won't get any noticeable performance increase by running solely in Wireless-N. Having tried it myself, I couldn't notice a difference. As long as you are using a WPA/2 password, N-Devices should be able to easily reach their max speed. Only when using WEP are devices limited to G speeds.

If you are intent on keeping the router in Wireless-N mode, you can often plug a second router into the first through ethernet, letting it act as an access point with 802.11g enabled."

"If you router is set to 'N only', you'd need a second wireless router (or access point) operating at 'G' (or 'B') speed which the iPhone can communicate with.

Alternatively, you could add a G/B wireless network card to your MediaCenter PC which could communicate with the iPhone."
