Is it possible to change the Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter from b standard to n standard in the b/g/n mix?

My system is:
Samsung RV515 laptop
Windows 7 64 bit SP1
Qualcomm Atheros AR9285, Adapter Driver Ver. 10.0.0.285.

Device Manager Properties Advanced Tab shows:
802.11b Preamble - Long and Short
AdHoc 11n - Enable
Network Address - Not Present
Receive Buffers - 256
Scan Valid Interval - 60
Transmit Buffers - 512

I have tried:
Updating the driver
Rolling back the driver
Having Samsung Help Desk take a look at it. They remotely changed the AdHoc 11n setting to Enable from Disable which I had also tried. There is no change in the speed test between Enable or Disable.

Is it possible to change to the n standard (and verify the change)? Or, am I already on the n standard and just not smart enough to know I'm there?

Thank you VERY MUCH for any help.

Solution
It should default to the N standard.

Wireless B is 11mbps MAX so if you can do 12mbps (1.5 mBps) download then you are using N.
Open task manager, under network see what your connection speed says it is.
boosted1g,

BIG TIME "Thank you" for the helpful answer! Connection speed is 150Mbps.

Now I'm going to try and figure out why the 5Ghz frequency isn't being recognized in the Available Networks and also with speed of 150Mbps if a download speed of 60Mbps/upload speed of 12Mbps can be improved upon.

Again boosted1g thank you for your help, you have no idea how much it's appreciated.
