    i have the wrt600 router and the 4695 card in my m1530

    i cant seem to connect on to the 5ghz frequency in n mode, it only allows it to connect in "a" mode

    and can only connect in the 2.4 mode with g

    n is enabled i am just not sure how to make it use n

    intel proset wireless says its n but says i am connected wither either a(5ghz) or g (2.4 ghz)

    no matter what my speed is always 54mbps

    anyone know what i need to do to fix this? i have searched google and found nothing

    Make sure all your "n" options are auto or enable on your wireless adapter options.

    n mode is enabled, and not sure if you are familiar with proset, but it see's the connection as g, n for 2.4 and a, n for 5 but once i connect and go to the properties of each connection it only says g and a
