Hello, I just got the rev. I fios router. I have 2 wireless N devices that I connect to my router with. Despite being wireless N, both devices will only connect at 65.0 Mbps. I think the rev I should go to at least 130 Mbps. My router is set to performance mode (Wireless N only). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where is your device in relation to the router? Try moving it to the same room and check the speed. Distance and walls can make a big difference.
Also, some older wireless N cards are not capable of speeds over 65 Mbps. To check it open "Network and Sharing Center" then click on "Wireless Network Connection." The speed shown is the max you can get with your card.

The router is on the same desk as the computer.
I should have made my post more clear. The speed in the network and sharing center is the number I am talking about. My link speed is showing 65.0. I thought the link speed for wireless N should be around 130. I'm not talking about my actual speeds, I'm concerned about the link speed.
Are you sure that some wireless N cards are limited to 65.0? If so, I might have to purchase a new card, but I thought all wireless N was faster link speed than that.
"Are you sure that some wireless N cards are limited to 65.0?" Relatively, but not absolutely.
"I thought all wireless N was faster link speed than that." There was probably a time when greater capability in the wireless card was irrelevant.
I have 2 laptops running on wireless N. The older one shows 65 Mbps. The newer one shows 130 Mbps.
ok, cool. Thanks for providing me that information. I will buy a new wireless adapter and see if I can get a link speed greater than 65.0.
Thanks again.
