Question about Wireless N capabilities of my uMB

[SuperSnake2012]

Hi guys. I have a late 2008 unibody Macbook. I just bought a Medialink MWN-WAPR150N wireless N router the other day to replace my dying Linksys router. It works great, except OS X is showing that it's only connected to my router on G speeds:

On the router settings, I have it set to mixed b/g/n mode. My computer shows that it supports N, but it's only connected as g. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?

My router's settings:

Try creating a dedicated 802.11n network and see what happens.

same issue

I have exactly the same issue.

The router does not have an option of setting to N mode only. The only way to set it to N is to select B/G/N mode.

solution

I contacted medialink and they sent me the following solution. Not sure why it works but my network now shows up as wireless-N.


Try adjusting the security you are using on the network.
Login to your router's ip at 192.168.0.1 from a browser window (login "admin" "admin").
Under Wireless Settings> Security Settings, make sure your security mode is set to Mixed WPA/WPA2 and you are using both algorithms (TKIP and AES)> Apply.
You'll then want to "forget" the previous network connection. For example, on Win 7 and Vista, Start> Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center>Manage Wireless Networks> Right Click and remove ALL entries for your home router (called Medialink or whatever you may have re-named it). Then return to Network and Sharing>Connect to a Network, and re-enter your password to reconnect.
