Mine were both maxed at 2312.
I had updated the firmware and it's software but it had not updated the 
ndis driver (not sure why it should have).  I updated it and it seems to 
be working right now.Very odd as I was connecting to someone elses when 
it would roam to someone elses open network fine and I am at the limits 
to reach them it seems.
