Default Only one mode under wireless setting

Hi,

I just got me the wndr3700 router. In the setup page, under wireless settings, I can only see one mode, that is, 54 Mbps. Can't see the other two modes. Can anyone please explain why this is so? I have installed the latest firmware update, that is, 1.0.7.98. I would like to set it to 300 Mbps but I can't get that option.

The 2.4GHz light (green led) and the 5 GHz light (blue led) are on.

The wireless rate is linked with the wireless encryption method, WEP/TKIP will limit the rate to 54Mbps, and also in the router QoS section it is necessary to enable WMM to achieve the high throughput rate.

Btw there's same thing happen on me
I'd set both band to 300 Mbps but I only got 54 , turned on WMM . or tats because of the wifi card in e laptop (my lap kinda old)

And my desktop is funny too, once connected to the router it pop up said 1gig connected but in the connection status show onli 1mbps or 10.0mbps ( I gigot)
