I have a Dell XPS 13 that is equipped with the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless adapter. Prior to my switch to the FIOS 75/35 package, I had TimeWarner cable with speeds of 30/5 package. After Verizon installed the 75/35 package, I noticed that my wireless connection to my laptop was slower. Whereas before I was clocking at nearly 30Mbps with Timewarner with a 802.11n connection, now I am clocking at a maximum of 21 or 22 Mbps while connected to the Actiontec MI424WR Rev. 1 model/router. After checking the wireless connection I saw why.
While I was able to connect to my older Timewarner cable modem/router with 802.11n, I cannot seem to connect with the Verizon Actiontec modem/router. Instead, only the 802.11g wireless network is visible in the wireless network list. I haven't changed any of the computer settings. In fact, just to make sure, I turned the old router on before shipping it back to Timewarner and confirmed that I connected to it with 802.11n. So I am assuming its something related to the router settings.
So I went into the router settings to check to see what was wrong. After going to Advanced Settings and then 802.11a/g/n Modes, I made sure that the router was working in "Compatibility Mode (802.11b/g/n)". However, I still do not see any 802.11n wireless connections available for me to connect.
Can anybody please provide some input? I've run out of options on this one. Thanks in advance!
