4965AGN / Linksys WRT600N - No 802.11n ***Resolved***

Question

*******************  Problem Resolved **************************
Given the response from others that they have been able to get the 802.11n working on the WRT600N, I reset the router and started again.  I am now able to connect at 270Mbps using 5.0 GHz and at 130Mbps at 2.4 GHz.  I am having problems getting the WRT600N to save setting changes (even though the web ui shows the setting, the router does not apply them) and that may have been the problem with the "n" support.  I use this router only as an Access Point, so all NAT, Routing DHCP and Firewall support is disabled and there is no connection to the WAN interface.  Even though I disabled the DHCP Server setting and removed power multiple times, it took a factory reset and re-configuration to actually get the router to disable the DHCP Server.  Perhaps this behavior is what caused to "n" support to show it was enabled, but not to work.  Who knows...  I do like being able to have both frequency channels available from a single WAP.
I purchased the Linksys WRT600N wireless router this weekend.  I am unable to get the 4965AGN card to connect to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz  modes at 802.11n.  The fastest speed I achieved was 54Mbps at both 5 (802.11a) and 2.4 (802.11g).  WPA-2 / AES was being used on both.  I went out and bought the D-Link DGL-4500 tonight and I was able to connect using 802.11n with no problems. 
The problem is a compatibility issue between the 4965AGN and the WRT600N.
Has anybody been able to get the WRT600N working at 802.11n?  I notice the Lenovo drivers are much older than the drivers on the Intel site, but I do not know if it is the WRT600N that is at fault.  I would like to keep the WRT600N since it transits at both 2.4 and 5.0.  The D-Link only supports a single frequency (5.0 or 2.4).
Experience from anybody else with this combination would be appreciated.
Regards,
Brian
