How do I know whether my laptop with Win7 64bit is connected wireless in 802.11N or is connected at 802.11G mode?

Is there a status page, or windows log, where it shows which of the 2 modes Im connected at?

Im not on my comp right now but I would check:
Start Menu > Control Panel > Network > Change Adapter Settings > Then check your adapter settings

Or

Start Menu > Control Panel > Hardware & Devices > Then browse for your wireless adapter

Under status window doesnt per se say whether it is connected in B/G/N modes.

Think that would solve it.

check the speed.

Unless you have some connection / signal quality issues (then you'd get slower speeds)

>54 mbps = N
~54 mbps = G
~11 mbps = B

edit Meiosis beat me to it

Ok thanks everyone.

I guess i got a ****** connection to the router because it always says 54 or less.

Not to hijack the thread but if you have an N capable router how do you ensure Win 7 only connects in N and not G?
