    Hi all.

    Can someone help guide me to help connect my sony flip 15 to the N network of my router. All other PC's can connect just fine.

    The Firmware Version on Netgear is
    V1.0.2.70_1.0.50
    Model: R6300

    Wireless Card: 7260 intel

    Appreciate if someone knows how to make it happen. I have also disabled and enabled multimedia settings to no avail. The regular network connects just fine,
