Can you please provide more details about your router ..like model # , and which operating system do you have on your laptop . 1.To ensure that you are getting the best speeds from your 802.11n router , be sure you are using the WPA2 password configuration and enable WMM. You may also choose to have no password protecting your network, though security risks obviously increase with that choice.
2. Don't Connect Draft 11n and 11b/g clients to the same routerAn 802.11n router can also work with 802.11g and even 11b devices. But these much slower devices force the router to slow down to talk to them, which means a big throughput hit. Fortunately, the "legacy" mechanisms are pretty efficient and reduce throughput only when the slower devices are actively transmitting or receiving
3.Don't use Channel Bonding -If you are changing the Channel Width or mode from the default 20 MHz to the 40 MHz (or "Auto 20/40" mode in some routers) channel-bonding mode, you could be reducing, not increasing your throughput Here are some wireless tips : http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/wirelesstips.aspx
