Guessing your laptop uses an Intel 5100 adapter............
IIRC you need to go into your adapter properties and make sure your 802.11n Mode is ENABLED and that you are using WPA2-AES for your security measures.

"802.11n Mode
The 802.11n standard builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). MIMO increases data throughput to improve the transfer rate. setting can be used to enable or disable supporting the high throughput mode (MIMO - 802.11n).
- Enabled (Default)
- Disabled
Notes These settings are available only if the adapter is an Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350, Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150, Intel® WiFi Link 5300, Intel® WiFi Link
5100 or Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN.
To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (
None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting. An administrator can enable or disable support for high throughput mode to reduce power-consumption or conflicts with other bands or compatibility issues."
