Enabling 802.11n on the 861-w ISR

Question

Hello,
I'm attempting to configure 11n on the 861W router integrated access point. I've configured
speed basic-1.0 2.0 5.5 11.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 m0. m1. m2. m3. m4. m8. m9. m10. m11. m12. m13. m14. m15.
But still can't connect faster than 54Mb. Are there any comprehensive instructions for how this works?
Any help surely appreciated.

Answer 1

Thanks for your reply - much appreciated.
What I was trying to say was my test client only had one antenna, since it's an old Dell 8200 with an newer "n" card in it. But I was able to rig two more antennas (antenni?). I was also able to set "channel width 40-above" on the 861-W. Now, on the client utility I get receive rates poping up to 300 Mbps and transmit rates in the 108 to 168 range.
According to Table 2 on this page:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a0080a3443f.shtml
that signifies a guard interval of 800ns on transmit, but 400ns on receive.
Is there a command to explicitly set the guard interval?
RRodichev, I am also wondering what leads you to believe that the 861-W is 2.4 GHz only? I don't see anything in the data sheet about frequency bands.
Finally, there is anyone who knows what all of the codes are in the
#show dot11 statistics client-traffic
command mean?
