Wireless 802.11n

Ok, Here goes.....

I have just bought a belkin F5D8231-4uk wireless N1 router but am unable to get a 300mbps connection through my macbook pro. The most I can get is 130. Even if I sit the macbook next to the router, set the router to 802.11n and the frequency to 20/40mhz it still only connects at 130.

I have a few questions that any help with would be very much appreciated....

1. Is 300mbps possible in the UK? I know in the US they use different frequency (5mhz is required for 300mbps)
2. Is the built in airport extreme card in the macbook pro capable of 300mbps?
3. Has anyone in the UK managed to get their Macbook Pro connected at anything more than 130mbps and if so, what wireless router are you using?
4. If I bought an Apple airport base station will that allow 5mhz connections in the UK or 300mbps with the macbook pro?

Sorry for the many questions, but I think with more and more people switching over to this new spec (802.11n), this is gonna be a big problem and the router companies don't want to know, or don't know. (Believe me, I've tried).
