    Well i got the hp dv9500t with built in A/G/N. So i just went out and bought a wireless B/G/N router. For some reason my laptop is only using G. I checked my router's settings and it said it was using B/G/N. So i switched it to only N. My laptop connected to it for about 3 seconds on N and then disconnected. The worst part is now i cant change it back to B/G/N because my laptop wont connect. What should i do?

    Thanks...

    always use the lan cable (RJ-45) to modify your routers settings, no through wireless. Conect the cable and reconfigure the router or hard reset the router (see manual).

    Also, are you sure they are both the same type of "N"? A number of cards were made that were based on a preliminary N "specification" so their can be differences. Thus, there may be a compatibility issue.

    Just a thought.
