New N Router wont connect to "n radio band" PLEASE HELP

Hey All,

So I just got the new N ROuter from Fios.  (P.s.  If you want one, just upgrade to the 35/35 plan and they will offer you it and send a tech to bring it). 

My problem however is that my laptop which has the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 internal wireless card will only connect to the "g radio band".  Is there some setting I can change on the router or my system?  The whole reason I upgraded was to get my laptops connecting at "n speed". 

If my internal wireless card isn't compatible is the a known one that does?

Thanks for any help.  I really appreciate it.

Check if you are using wep,  wep and wireless n do not play well together.

Upgrade to WPA2 using the in home agent or follow the online instructions here.

I second the check for WPA2. Verizon should not be shipping any N-capable routers (Rev F-I) with anything BUT WPA2-AES security, as any device compliant with the N Standards will fall to G speeds if any other encryption type is used. Unsecured, while not recommended except for testing purposes is the only other mode that will allow N speeds.
