so this is about disconnects not the 300Mbps

because if you following it perfectly your not mixing n/g modes....N only

Hi,

I would suggest you try a different .11N wireless adapter and see if that one drops the link like your DWA is doing.

Certain adapters with certain drivers are not stable while the same physical adapter with a newer or maybe even an older driver will be very stable....  I have had to use Atheros Drivers with my DLink PCI xtreme N adapter (I forget the model ??) cause the DLink provided drivers simply would not stay connected...finally Dlink, after a year or so released an updated driver that works for me....

Just a thought...
