Well, the X61s 7669-7DM model has an Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card, so the answer is no!

Are not N wireless routers backwards compatible so while you won't get the benifit N you would at least notice increased wireless range?

No, it can't be enabled. You need to replace the card if you want 802.11n functionality.

There are several threads already on Thinkpads.com that go through this.
