Hi all, so today I got a Zyxel NBG-417N Wireless N-Lite Home Router, and a Zyxel NWD 270N Wireless N-Lite adapter to go with it, hoping to achieve wonderful 802.11n connectivity. However, upon plugging it all in and setting it up, it's still showing crappy signal and, on the Zyxel Wireless N Adapter Utility, it is still showing the Network Mode as G:

I've changed the frequency a couple times but to no avail, and I've got the latest driver and firmware for USB adapter and router respectively. I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium X64.

I cannot figure out for the life of me how I can get it to run at N. Can someone please help me?

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this info was important and I'm unable to edit my first post.

When logging into the router, it even shows 54M as the wireless range, which I assume relates to 54mbps (G), as opposed to the 150 max I should expect if it was N.
