I just put an Intel 6300 in my Asus G73JH which only has 2 antennas. I thought the 3rd antenna was only for acheiving 450mbps. When I connect to my router, I'm only getting "G" 54mbps.
I went to configure the network adapter and it only shows up a/b/g.
I got the newest drivers from Intel's wesbite.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I believe so, yes.
Edit: I could be wrong though, but I believe I read somewhere that for the best Wireless N performance you should have that third antenna. Maybe I'm thinking of MIMO or something. -
You need to use WPA2 +AES as security in order to achieve 802.11n speeds.
It should work at least @150mbps (if not @300mbps) with only two antennas -
You can get 300mbs with two antennas, your close enough to the router and you hold your tongue just right. For three, I would have to kill my two year warranty to remove tamper sticker to pull my laptop apart. No thanks. A solid 54mbps, with no drops, is fine unless you have the need for HD video streaming.
I find keeping a solid 300mbs a challenge so maybe the third antenna, set up properly would help? -
A chart showing WPA2 +AES vs all the rest would be asking tooo much from the vendors? -

OK, thanks.
I re-read my installer help screens and there is a sentence that reads just like your post.Dumb luck, I picked the right one. There is a review on smallnetbuilder on my router so I'm off to see what else i missed.
Did the OP find his problem yet?
Do I need the 3rd antenna for "N" on my Intel 6300
