It probably doesn't support the 20/40 channel width.

It uses the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz band to do the 300 stuff, the 655 only transmits on 2.4.

@Eddie: yes, I read... nothing there for me... Am I blind?

@davevt31: as far as I understood it can operate in BOTH, 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz... plus I have got only 65 Mbps

Thx both for reply

The adapter needs to use both of the bandwidths in order to get the 300 speed.  Since the 655 is 2.4 only you won't see 300 with it.

That is absolutly not true. In fact we do not make an adapter that runs 2.4 and 5 at the same time.

To acheive 300Mbps, you need to have the channel width set to 20/40 and use WPA2/AES encryption.

If you use security, that is...

That's not necessarily true either. I've acheived 300Mbps with no encryption. :P

Yes, that is correct.

Minimum requirement for 300Mbps is 40 channel width and an 802.11N signal, however you should always use encryption.

How far away from router, how much interference (what's the dBi you get?)
