Default WPA2 encryption updates/firmware

I have a Dell Inspiron with a wireless N card adaptor that came
pre-installed. Got a Dlink DIR-625 N router and after WAY too many hours on
the phone with both Dlink and Dell support, finally got a stable and secure
connection using WPA only and 11g mode. The Dell guy said I should download
a patch or firmware from Microsoft that allows me to use 11n and WPA2
encryption, but I can't find it anywhere. Many thanks for any help!

Windows Vista already includes full support for WPA2. There's nothing extra
to download.
