After scouring the web, I finally found another person with a similar issue on a mac book pro and my same router. I had to go into media prioritization on the router and enable WMM. Supposedly Intel and some other manufacturers require WMM when going to high speed N connections. WMM would not stay on unless I also added my laptop to the priority device list as well. As soon as I did, the connection no longer showed up as only a 802.11a connection, but now shows up correctly as a .11n connection and I get speeds above 54mbps.
