Intel already up to speed

The Intel 4965agn wireless N adapter in most modern laptops is already dual band. It's the routers that seem to be behind in using this tech. I also got a linksys wireless N router as it was one of the first to use Draft 2.0, has gigaports to connect to my NAS and has the best throughput/least bandwidth lost when going from device to device. Unfortunately, the Linksys isn't dual band and so the wireless is N is all server over 2.4ghz frequency. This caused problems with the Intel card in my laptop so I had to turn on Fat Channel intolerance on and can connect at 130mb/s but not the full 300. I will either have to get a Linksys adapter for the laptop or upgrade my router to a dual band Netgear.
