    i recently received my new HP dv9500t and first thing i did is a wipe the drive and do a fresh install of Vista Home Premium thanks to the instructions on this message board. I have the Intel Wireless 4965AGN wireless adaptor so i was hoping to connect with the 802.11n to my new Netgear WNR854T but it is only connecting at 54 Mbps even though my signal strenth is excellent. I have the latest firmware for the router and the router is draft 2.0. so why am i not able to get the 802.11n connection? any suggestions?

    Looks like I was able to answer my own question on intel's website. I had to change my wireless security from TKIP to WPA2-AES. Now i'm connecting at 144Mbps. Isnt it suppose to go up to 270Mbps? What else can i do to improve the speed? I'm only about 6 feet away from the router in direct line of sight.
