That's the channel, not the channel mode. Not sure what it's called on the Shrub these days but it used to be a 145/300Mbps setting.

b) I am afraid I can't see any mention in my laptop specs of which network card it has but is does say the wireless network is 802.11 b/g/n

That narrows it down a bit. A new router will not help top speed significantly without an upgrade of your laptop's wireless card as well.

Given that's it's a b/g/n card, i.e. no a or ac, then it's clearly already a budget/low-end/cheapo model. El-cheap low-end cards are also frequently single-stream only limiting throughput to 72Mbps link rate and around 50Mbps TCP in typical conditions.
