some older routers don't go higher than G. to get around that you can either get them to upgrade the router to something that supports N, or use a WAP connected to your router. here's the one I use (link at the bottom):
I don't recommend getting another router if they won't give you one, most ISP companies prefer you use their router (at least that's the case with Verizon FiOS that I have), so you can just use a WAP to give and serve the wireless. I do that, I also logged into my router and turned the router wireless off as I didn't need two wifi networks in my house, I just use the wireless network created by the newer WAP (wireless access point).

Here's the manual.

page 107 setup both the 2.4 and the 5 GHZ to the highest setting on "auto" mode and you should be all set. Then set a UNIQUE name for the 2.4 and the 5.4 GHZ and try connecting to the 2.4 wireless network with N and see if that is better. :)there should be 2 UNIQUE names for your wireless. one for 2.4 and one for 5GHZ.

I have both the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz Bands named differently. I connect to the 5 Ghz Band with my laptop and despite being within 2 feet of the router, I am only getting half of the speed as my wireless desktop.
I am using the router as an Access Point and if I connect the Laptop with an Ethernet wire to the router, I do get the ~100 Mpbs speed.
