    When setting my AP to 802.11n only mode, my T420 wouldn't connect to the AP. It only connects when AP is set to 802.11g/n mixed mode or below that mode.

    My NIC is showing "1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter" in device manager. In the property > advance tab, these are properties I saw:

    - 802.11d = disable
    - Beacon Interval = 100
    - Preamble Mode = Short & long
    - Roaming Sensitivity Level = Low
    - TX Power Level = Auto
    - Wiress Mode = IEEE 802.11b/g/n

    How could I get 802.11n mode working? Am I having wrong driver?
