The question is, if you client is capable of 300Mbps.
These settings at least under dd-wrt enable 300mbps mode.
What client card are you using?
Hello,
I'm trying to get the best possible N rate out of my new WNR3500L -- but nothing I try is getting it past 144 rate (according to inSSIDer). I can see other wireless units in my area according to inSSIDer who are getting 270 and even 300 rates with N. Is the WNR3500L capable of a higher rate? What are the magic settings to get me there?
Right now I've got these settings:
N Only
Channel 6
Channel Width 40mhz
Sideband Lower
Using WPA2 Personal + AES
The advanced wireless settings are just stock as far as I know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. The client card is just the built-in laptop wireless, Intel chipset I believe. It doesn't support N-- but inSIDDer can apparently still see/monitor N APs, so that's how I'm seeing faster max rate's on other N AP's.
I actually don't have a N client yet-- I was just doing performance testing and setup on the new router before I fully jumped in.

Hi, did you manage to fix this in the meantime? I have the same problem ...
Thanks, Thomas

I never got it fixed. Tomato shows 144 / 130 for the TX/RX rate, all the time.
I finally got a real N-client laptop to test with, and the rate hasn't changed. So I'm not sure what's up.
I don't want to switch to DD-WRT because TomatoUSB is much much easier to manage.

Thanks for you reply. USB and DD-WRT indeed seems to be a nightmare :-) Nevertheless I checked the rates with a real N-Client and DD-WRT - same result. I guess I will switch back to Tomato.
Thanks again - Thomas

For some routers, the drivers will have a feature where if they detect any channel overlap, they will reduce the speed to 144mbit
hopefully someone would find a way to disable that feature (with those routers, if you remove the antennas then bring your laptop within a few inches, it will connect at 300mbit but if you pop on the antennas, it will drop to 144mbit when it scans for channel overlap.
