Link Speed: 130Mb over 802.11n

Currently, that's what Network Utility is showing me. It was at 300 Mb earlier today. Any idea why it changed?

Are you still using the 5GHz mode? 802.11n has a link speed of 300Mbps at 5GHz, and has a link speed of 130Mbps at 2.4GHz.

this would be because u are using both 802.11n AND 802.11g. if you only need 802.11n (and you have no other older 802/11g wireless computers) u can just turn on the 802.11n capabilities of the router and have about 300mbps

On the Airport Extreme, you can be in 802.11n only mode and still have a 130Mbps link if you're still in 2.4GHz mode. For 300Mbps link, you must be in 5GHz mode.

Yup...that's what I was trying to say in my long-winded way.
