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.
