These wireless N routers do run in the 5GHz so a 5.8GHz phone could wreck havoc on them. If your wireless network is running on 2.4GHz and your phone is on 5.8GHz then there should be no conflict. Now I say "should" because there is always a possibility it is just not a good one. Thanks Matt Luther–
