The best possible solution is to purchase a new N single band wireless router - good ones can be purchased for around $40 US. To be honest, I didn't even realize that Panasonic ever was in the router market.

If your iPhone is picking up other nearby wireless networks, the problem lies with your wireless router and wireless network.

Check Pansonic's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed. How old is your wireless router and is it still supported by Panasonic?

Panasonic didn't have any firmware upgrades shown on the website, it was an older model when I hooked it up. Looking at changing things out in the home net, this makes for a good excuse to! Thanks for the suggestions.

Is your home network private or discoverable?
