    Hi,

    When I got my T60 a year and a half ago I chose the Atheros Wireless PCI Mini card that is ABGN thinking that one day I would use the N connection. I just purchased a Belkin N+ and while its a great router I feel the laptop is only connecting at the G speed, 54MPS according to Windows XP. Were those Atheros T60 cards too much before the Draft 2.0 for N speed, is that why its not connecting? Is there something I am missing?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, however I checked it out but it must be different for the Intel card they are referring to because under device manager and advanced settings on an Atheros ABGN card that came with my T60 there is nothing (that I can see) that refers to speed or selection of N over G. Is there another link that comes to mind with a posting on the card settings?
