No, 300 is gained by a combination of WPA2/AES encryption and 40Mhz channel bonding.

Ah!  I'll give that a shot, thanks :)

How do you do channel bonding in the DIR-825?  I just scanned through the user manual and can't find anything on there.

It's the channel width option in the wireless setup.

Gotcha, that's what it's set to on both ends.  Sorry, don't quite have all my wireless lingo nailed down yet :)

Having the same exact problem, with the same exact same hardware.  Please post if you find a solution.  I have been corresponding with Sony and currently am having no luck.

Yes, I have read this thread multiple times and tried everything (suggested within it and the 300mbps thread)...even spent some time on the phone with my laptop manufacturer, which resulted in no changes.  I did some experimenting and found that I could get a max of 270mbps (per the router setup tool) only when using the 2.4mhz frequency with it set to b,g and N and no other pc on the network.  Whats odd is that the windows utility will only show a max of 150mbps no matter what...

Earl,
I'm assuming that you also have an Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN client card on you Sony?  As it turns out, the Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN is only capable of 150Mbps when transmitting and 300Mbps for receiving (unfortunately, this data is buried in small fine print of the Intel Specs  >:().  I just wished that Sony should have been upfront about this spec and would allow us the option to choose the 5300AGN (which is capable of 300Mbps TX/RX) instead, which I would gladly pay for the upgrade.

I think the confusion comes in when Windows is reporting the TX link speed and DLink is also reporting the TX link speed at the router's end (Windows' RX link speed), thus the discrepancies between the two link speed reports (The router versus Windows).

I guessed we'll either have to break open our VAIO and swap out the mini-PCI Wireless N card, or get a USB or ExpressCard Wireless N client card that's capable of supporting bidirectional 300Mbps rates if we want the higher TX rate.

You are correct.  I am researching my options (Vendor, swap requirements-card, antenna, etc).  The 5100 card has abysmal range.  All this to save $10...penny wise and dollar foolish.  Please post if you make the swap.


For those of you with the 5300 card, how is the range?
