E4200 - How do you connect at 450Mbps?

[CBC888]

I am using the Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 wireless adapter with the E4200.  I am only able to connect at a maximum of 300Mbps on the 5GHz band - even when I am only 5 feet away from the router.  My understanding is that both this wireless adapter and this router support 450Mbps.  Is there something that I need to set to enable this feature/speed?

perhaps the router does not SUPPORT the dongle... there should be nothing extra you need to do. give linksys live chat a once over..

I have a Lenovo X201T  with Intel Ultimate wifi and have seen very brief moments at 450mbps, but I didn't configure anything special.  In the end I would not expect a connection at that speed to be consistent and even then...only at very close range.

I have been able to achieve a consistent connection at 450Mbps (at close range) using an Intel 5300 adapter.  After much testing, I realized that the Channel does not really matter (i.e. you can leave it set to "Auto"); however, the Channel Width MUST be 40MHz (whether you set it specifically to "40MHz only" or leave it set to "Auto" and hope that it will use 40MHz).

additional: the wireless security should be WPA2-Personal... Lower type wireless security will not get you the speed...

Also make sure that the client card isn't locked to 20MHz (mine was). Go to Client Card >settings >Advanced >802.11n...5.2 band - set to "Automatic". (In addition: If you have Intel PROSet/Wireless WIFI software you can lock your SSID profile to 5GHz under "Advanced settings") After doing this i now have 400 - 450 Mbps in close range.
