Cisco WAP set up on N network show A connection

I have a Cisco Aironet 1140 WAP.  I have a Guest and Private SSID set up on 2 VLAN's everything appears to be working properly.  I have the guest set up on Radio0-802.11N 2.4GHz.  And I have the private set up on Radio1-802.11N 5GHz.  

On the pc's for the broadcast properties it shows the guest network as "N" and privateas "A".  Is this  normal?  Shouldnt the Private be N as well?

yes it is normal. The A connection is better for closer ranges & is allot more stable

I understand it is better.  But I chose N. And it shows A.  I don't necessarily have a layout with a close range
it sounds like either your NIC or your NIC driver needs to be updated to me.
I tried it on 2 computers, one with an Intel 5100AGN and one with a Intel 5300AGN updated drivers, on windows 7 and windows xp.  Something doesnt seem right User generated image User generated image
