Correct. You can also force "n only" and see if it makes a difference.

First of all, we don't even know the make and model of the router. It may not even be a wireless N, meaning the lower speeds are explained because his phone is being forced to use G or B. If it is a Wireless N router, Forcing N only is a very bad suggestion, considering the OP may have other wireless devices that are G or even B. We don't know, so if that is the case, forcing N will allow ONLY N wireless devices to work, and if the OP has others they will cease to connect. Also forcing N would make no difference in regards to your issue. Either way, the first thing you need to check is your routers make and model. If if does support Wireless N, continue with the instructions below. If it's a Wireless B or G, that is your issue, your phone is not getting the best speeds because your router is older and doesn't support N.
As for resetting. I would do a complete power cycle. Which would be doing the following in this order.
* Shut down all PCs/MACS on your network.
* Unplug your modem and router ( If your modem has a battery back up remove the battery before unplugging )
* Plug your modem back in FIRST. Making sure you get a solid ONLINE or CABLE light, depending on the make and model of the modem.
* Once your modem is ONLINE, plug in your router
* Turn on your PCs/MAC and reboot your phone
Do the above in that exact order. If you are still having speeds issues. You may want to visit your router manufactures support page and download a firmware upgrade if it's available.
