I recently bought a Netgear DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N DSL Gateway.

Better connections using dual band Wireless-N

Dual band wireless networks deliver better connections with less interference

Greater bandwidth for high-quality media streaming and better online gaming

Push ‘N’ Connect securely connects devices at the touch of a button

Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) for reliable Internet, voice and gaming applications

For use with ADSL broadband (through the telephone line)

Features

Eight (8) internal smart antennas, to optimise signal strength and range

Push ‘N’ Connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) allows you to add computers to the network quickly and securely

Automatically upgrades to the latest router firmware

Easy setup with Smart Wizard® installation CD

So with this router you can run a g and n wireless network at the same time

One of the main reasons I bought this was to get the extended range that you get with n. However the performance and range is worse than g. I have tried connecting with an iPhone4, iPad and Apple TV 2 and I have the same problem with them all. Don't know if it is an apple issue. Running on the g network I get better performance and range than n.

What am I doing wrong? :(
