I'm running a Belkin N-draft router (F5D8633) as my wireless access point. My iMac is connecting fine to it.



I'm just wondering is there any way to know if it's connecting using a 802.11n draft connection or 802.11a/b/g. I know this can be done in windows but I'm new to the world of Mac.



Thanks

    Go to the Applications folder and open the Utilities folder. You will find "Network Utilities", launch it and you will find a drop menu with (en1) and it will tell you what link speed you are running at and list the 802.11a/b/g/n if you are able to receive all channels.

    Another obvious way is to go into the router's wireless config screen and set it to N-only instead of the mixed-mode they're all set to by default. See if the computer still connects.
