Curious! How do you get full 150Mbps on your wifi?
I have:
- TPLink WR840N router (150Mbps capable, chinese version of WR841N), flashed with DD-WRT,
- laptop with Intel WifiLink 5300 (450Mbps capable).
- DLink DNS323 NAS, wired connected to Router at 100Mbps
Laptop connects to router @ 150Mbps. Yet when I do FTP to NAS, I am getting 3MBps only instead of 10MBps!
This is also one of the reason why I am doing only 720p streaming from NAS to TV instead of 1080p.
Any idea? HD problem?

First things first: it's never as fast as the link rate showed in windows, so the best you could expect is ~9MB/s. However, that would be if you were close to the router and also the only one on the 2.4GHz band. Since 2.4GHz is rather crowded, your transfer speeds aren't all that bad. You could download inSSIDer and set your router to the less crowded channel out of 1, 6 and 11.

Also wired the laptop to router to rule out NAS/router problem.
