Hi Fabio, Unfortunately, my lap top still won't run in wireless N mode! I've got it to connect again wirelessly and secured, but it won't connect in N mode, she's running in 802.11g mode @ 54 Mbps. My desktop is running in wireless N pulling in 1Gbps. Like I was asking you last time I wrote you, I'm going to do a fresh install and if that doesn't correct things, it's got to be a driver issue with my wireless card and the O.S.??? Just an uneducated guess.
Thanks for checking in on me. Wish I had better news. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2011. Cheers, Pierre. -- Pepe........
