Good to hear thinkgs are going well.

You can't.

To get the max benefit of your 11n connection I'd say go greenfield (enable only 11n,
no backward compatibility). Now to test 11n (even if you do have legacy
support enabled) you just have to have the 11n STA send or receive data
from a STA connected to the AP via an ethernet cable. That's all.
