450mbps Wifi - MCS 23 - Airport Extreme - Anyone Achieved This?

[christurbo]

Has anyone got this using Lion? [you can check by holding control and clicking on your wifi symbol].

I have a brand new MBA with a brand new AEBS and can only achieve an MCS of 15 [300mbps]. I have followed all the guides and tweaked certain settings.

See here:

Thank you

I noticed that my work Dell laptop was connected at 450 the other day. Had to double take. Haven't tried to do it with my Mini yet though.

IIRC, the MBA line is only 2x2? So 300mbps is max?

That would make sense however the reports all state that all 2011 MacBooks with Thunderbolt are affected.
