    Im using a Dlink 2210 router that i have setup in "compatibility " mode for both N & G. that being said shouldn't my laptops that have N cards connect at a faster rate than 54mps? as it stands i can have 4 laptops hooked up with n speed wireless cards and all of them connect @ 54mps.

    Yes, they should. Mind you, what they connect at and what they actually can transfer at will be two different things. Do you have devices that are G that are connecting at the same time as the N when they show the 54mbps?

    Not every wireless N compatible at full/half speeds.
    N was only a draft for a long time and most cards/routers are still from that time frame.
    If not compatible then it will run in G speed, if it is not the newest full speed then 130-150 and if everything works fine then full 300.
    Have to google around that what cards the router support at full speed.
