WN1000RP Firmware upgrade issue

Hi All,

I have just upgraded the firmware on my extender to V1.0.0.52 successfully, it states in the notes that 'Updated wireless mode from default 72Mbps to 150Mbps' however when I log back in to the Netgear website it shows the right (New) firmware but still says link rate is 72Mbps??
I have a BTHub5 which I think should give me the 150Mbps link rate or am I wrong??:confused:
Thanks in advance for any help.:)
Paul

    Make sure you have green link rate LED on the WN1000RP. You may also move the extender closer to your router. Check your router wireless settings as well if it set to at least 150Mbps.
