Full Wireless N speeds, possible?

I'm hoping to get full speeds on the EA6200
The software version is: 1.0.0.153594

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 with built in Wireless N 2.4 GHZ only. Is there any changes I need to make to get the full download/upload on N?

I'm not positive since we don't know which wireless card you actually have in your laptop, but I believe if you want to come close to the top speeds on your router you will need a newer wireless adapter with dual band capabilities. I could be wrong, so don't bash me too hard.

Here's what I can get:

Atheros Communications Inc.
Dell Wireless 1705 802.11/b/g/n (2.4 GHZ)

Yeah, you'll have to get something that supports dual band to have the chance to get the faster speeds.

What do you mean "full download/upload speed"? Do you mean the most that your card can handle, or how you can get the best speed across the house, or perhaps how you can get a 600 Mbps connection over 2.4 GHz 802.11n?
