WNA3100 only connecting at 65mbps

Think I posted my original post under the wrong topic.

 

Just bought a WNA3100 for my wife's laptop and for the life of me can not get it to connect better than 65mbps.  The AP it connects to is a Belkin N150 (F9K1001v4).  Settings are channel 5, mode 1x1 802.11n, bandwidth 20/40MHz, security WPA/WPA2 0Personal (PSK) AES.  I checked the settings on the WNA3100 and can not find anyway to set it to 802.11n only.  

 

More info:  AP is within 10 feet, no walls.  Only other wifi items in room are Chromecast and Amazon Echo.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks

Hi James,

 

Solved the problem a few days ago.  It was a another G device connecting to the router.  Had an extra router and brought that upstairs and set it to 802.11n only and connected at 150Mbps.  I now have a router for 802.11b/g devices and one for 802,11n devices.

Hi sdault,

1. What are the speed on your other wireless devices?

2. What is the speed you can get from wired?

3. Are you referring to the Link rate or the internet speed?
