WNDR4500v3 not running in 802.11n mode

[phmketih]

Hello, 

I have a Netgear WNDR4500v3 (N900) router and I've noticed that I'm actually running in my 2.4ghz band in 802.11g and my 5ghz band(which I use exclusively for gaming devices) is running in 802.11a. Shouldn't the router itself be running in n? I have a wireless card in my PC that supports wireless N and 5Ghz and when using WifiInfoViewer almost all the other networks around my area show up as N but my two SSID's do not. I've gone through the router control panel and I don't see anything to change it.... I'm no expert in networking, but I feel my router isn't reaching it's full potential and this could be why?

Anyways.... Thanks,

Keith

WPA2 security is required for N check to be sure you're using it. Also WMM needs to be enabled too.
