Hi,
I'm a newbie with very little knowledge of networking. I have an older Dell latitude D820 laptop that I'm using in a wireless network to access the internet. The laptop came with Dell Wlan wireless 1390 mini card that runs on the 802.11 a/g/h. I've disabled the a/a so it's set to use the h but the speed was very slow. I purchased the AirStation Nfiniti WLI-UC-G300N V1 with the hopes of getting faster throughput. The speed has gone up to 130 Mhz per the adapter driver, but the adapter is capable of using the N standard which I think should be 300 Mhz (I think??).
I changed the adapter software to use the 40 Mhz from the 20 Mhz but the link rate has not changed. I am using a Hitron CGN3 router that came from my cable company that is set to use both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I have a Nexus 10 tablet that sees both bands and has good throughput.
How do I get my AirStation adapter to use the N standard?
