Lemur 802.11n Speed

[rokstar]

I recently upgraded my router to an 802.11n. The maximum speed that shows in network manager is 54Mb/s. My router supports speeds of 300Mb/s. Is there a way to increase the network throughput? My signal strength is strong, so is there some configuration issue that I haven't taken into account? Thanks for any help!

Do you have the stock wireless card or the Intel Upgrade?

I think I do. lspci shows this:

Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300

That would bee it then. Currently, Intel WiFi cards don't support N-mode on Ubuntu, and the router/card are falling back to G mode, which runs at 54 Mbps. I expect they'll have the kinks with N mode worked out by 11.04 next April, though I can't make any guarantees. (It's Intel who's currently working on it.)

Thanks for the info!
