Lex, are you seeing HT20/40 grayed out on your unit? 

You should run inSSIDer first and figure out which channel on the 2.4 has less clutter/traffic. Rule of thumb 1,6 or 11. Make sure it is a fixed channel not auto. Then run the DNS utility as I suggested you may find that your current DNS settings MAY not be giving you a "snappy" service. That utility will divulge better, useful results that you can use and benefit from a better snappier/smoother internet, both on the wired and wireless. If you find a better DNS than what you are currently using, I suggest testing it on 1 LAN machine, running speed tests and open different tabs. You should see an improvement.

As mentioned in my previous posts, I upgraded from 15/1 to 50/5 TWC, having the extra bandwidth is great, running the DNS test yielded results that were telling. The DNS servers that I had been using since 2003 (earthlink DNS) were poor. Even after I upgraded to a faster bandwidth, there was some noticeable difference there, but after I found a BETTER DNS servers, huge difference in terms of how intense adobe flash pages pulled smoother quicker and no hiccups. In addition, if your using WIndows OS, you should do a DNS flush. Command prompt>ipconfig /flushdns.

No. Might I suggest to the OP that what ever web browser he is using that he clear the cache.

Which browser did you use to upgrade the FW?

I'm wondering if the FW load is corrupt on your unit somehow...

HT20/40 will grey out depending on your other settings, I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but I know when I was changing other settings like TKIP/AES/N mode/G mode/etc. that HT20/40 would be changeable one time, and not changeable the next.

For example, right now with G-only mode, channel 11, WPA2 only, AES, HT20/40 is greyed out.

Can someone try single mode N?
