[Help] Belkin Play N600 HD N+ Router - Speed & Settings

I have a new Belkin Play N600 HD N+ Wireless Dual-Band Router
»www.belkin.com/IWCatProd ··· d=522112
Firmware 1.00.28

What settings on the Channel and SSID page should I set for best performance? Would 2.4 or 5 GHZ be the best for my main laptop?

My laptop's Network Adapter is Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card

When I go to the Network and Sharing Center in Windows 7 Pro, and the laptop is connected to the 5GHz wireless network (currently broadcasting at "a & n" - it won't connect to "n" only mode), the Speed = 54.0 Mbps

What speed should I get from N connections? Is there something I can do to increase this?

Thanks

I reported this to Dell and got them to send me a new, better wireless card. I'm now connecting at up to 144 Mbps.

Dell support called me back again today to confirm that my new card was working. I asked if they could help me tweak it so they went on my computer, changed some settings on the router and card and I'm up to 300 Mbps. (I started at a max of 54 with the original card).
