    All the other devices work fine and get full speeds? 

    Is the iphone connected to the 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

        I hate to say this but

        1. I don't have an iphone so I'm not sure if you can check it through the wireless settings (android guy)

        and 

        2. I dont' have a xr500 (or any other dumaOS device) so i have no idea if the attached devices page shows what band you're connected to. 

        Sorry!

         

        maybe Netduma-Fraser has a little more info on the XR500 side of things :)
