Hi,
Anybody have any insight on this? My wireless connection for my laptop is showing upas N on Win 7 but G on DIR-655 status page??? ??? I'm confused. Am I getting N speeds/coverage or stuck with G. If G, why? I've tried wiping my wireless network config. on Windows and reestablishing it, but no change. The DIR-655 config page shows my machine connected at 54 Mbps and Type as G.
Any help, in configuring or just understanding, is greatly appreciated.

Hi G,
What happens when you limit the Wireless Broadcasting to "N" Speed?
What Wireless Adapter is being used?
What is your Hardware Revision and Firmware for the Router?
-
Intel chipset?
-
Limiting the broadcast to N only killed my connection. I will tinker a bit more to see if perhaps it is a security authentication problem, but I did check the key settings and they match.
Adapter: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN (So yes, Intel chipset... onboard chip in Dell Latitude XT2)
DIR-655 = Hardware version A4 Firmware revision: 1.32 NA
Another oddity. When this machine is connected to my wi-fi network at work Windows tells me the "Radio-type" on the connection is 802.11gn but currently it shows up (at home) as 802.11n, even though my router says I'm connected as g . Still puzzled here....

Well, it is definitely not security config. Worked through all of the config with Dell and there's no apparent reason it should not be connected as N. Frustrating.

Hi brewnw,
You mentioned "security authentication".
What is the Security Encryption you are using?
-
Same exact problem here. Running Win 7, intel 5300. N worked flawlessly for about a year. Now I cannot get n to broadcast. I have tried rolling back to several firmwares, as well as every security option. All three of my computers have the same issue so I have ruled out the computer.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

FIXED. I enabled WMM and EWP and now my N is broadcasting again.
-
Thanks for posting the solution. I was testing some settings and disabled the WMM and the router went fixed to g. I was getting crazy trying figuring it out.
