2011 MBA wireless issues with Air Port Extreme 5th Gen

Hello,

I have a strange issue, when I try speed tests on my Macbook Air, I only get about 30-40Mbs tops.... However when I try on a windows 7 Lenovo laptop, I always get 74Mbs..

I checked the MBA wireless channel by pressing the alt key, and it connects using the N network. Any ideas?

The router I am using is the Apple Airport Extreme 5th gen

MVM,

Do you have separate networks for 2.4GHz and 5GHz? When you press the option key to see the WiFi stats, what does it say next to Channel?

I don't have separate channels, Well I don't believe so.. For testing I enabled the 5ghz and named it 5ghz, i connected to it, got slow speeds and disabled it again..

It says channel 149 when I hit the key
