    I connected my Alienware M15x (Core i7 box). When I had it home it connected to omy WiFi router with N speeds. I've since had to format it for work and now it's only connecting at G speeds. I have other PCs in the house that are still connecting at N speeds.

    I've installed the drivers from the resource CD that was sent with the computer. This is the last thing I need to get working before it's perfect. :) Can anyone point me in the right direction of something to tweak?

    Thanks!

    you have to set your router to auto on both 2.4 and 5,2 bands, do the same for the 5300 card and enable the n setting for the card
