Thinkpad X300 - Cannot get 802.11n (draft) To work.

#1 Post by Zeeman28a » Mon May 17, 2010 5:25 pm

Here's my Lenovo ThinkPad X300 6478 Notebook Specs
Part #6478-1HU
Processor Type Intel Core 2 Duo SL7100 1.2 GHz
Chipset Type Mobile Intel GS965 Express
RAM Installed Size 2 GB (1 x 2 GB) DDR2 SDRAM, 667 MHz PC2-5300 SO DIMM 200-pin
64 GB Solid State Drive - Serial ATA-300
Optical Storage Type DVD-Writer, Removable Plug-In Module
Display Type 13.3" TFT, 1440 x 900 ( WXGA+ ) Intel GMA X3100 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n (draft), Bluetooth 2.0
Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T - RJ-45
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 64bit

I cannot get wireless to connect at speeds higher than 54Mbps. Works great with B and G.

I've gone through the wireless setup and the driver does not even show speeds higher than 54Mbps. Even the auto link, when I set it to force 802.11n and I set the router to only connect at 802.11n, it doesn't connect. If I lower it to G or B or Auto, it connects. I've tried all the various combinations.

I'm trying to connect to a Linksys WRT310N, which I am able to get a friends computer to connect at 125Mbps. Actually seems to fluctuate between 118Mbps and 122Mbps.

I've downloaded the latest drivers from Lenovo's website and that didn't help.

Any idea/help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Stan.
