    Hi all,

    I've got an Asus G1s with an Intel 4965AGN wireless card. I also have a dlink DIR-615 router (B/G/N). Now, I'm trying to connect via the 802.11n standard, but I seem to only be able to achieve a G connection. Any suggestions on how to make sure that I'm running on N? I have the latest drivers for my wireless card.

    Some times there are some incompatibilities issue between nic cards and routers.

    Have you setup the right wireless mode in the adapter? Also, maximum transmit power?

    It turns out I had WEP encryption on, which isn't compatible with 802.11n. So, I changed it to WPA-2, and it's working fine now.

    That's not accurate, WEP is compatible with N, however WPA-2 is certainly more secure than WEP.

    Glad is working now :D
