Okay, so Wirelessman may remember my issue, but the signal that I get in my room was crap. I'm about 30 feet away, too.
With my D-Link DGL-4500, I get great download speeds but the throughput isn't that great. I thought it was just my router, no big deal.
But my cousin brought over her laptop, a HP dv5z. I just wanted to see the wireless speeds, so I checked it out. It's literally 6 inches away from this laptop (see signature). It's (My cousins HP dv5z) network adapter: Atheros AR5009 802.11a/g/n WiFi Adapter. The throughput? 54mbps with a 3/5 signal strength!!
My XPS M1530 has between a 4/5 and a 5/5 signal strength, and I'm only connected at 39mbps AT THE MOST!!
What am I doing wrong?!? I have an Intel 4965 wireless card in my laptop, too, and it's on full strength (plugged in, performance power profile).

The DGL-4500 is a Wireless N Router, so your wireless mode seems like its set to G only. Login to the router to see if your wireless is configured as such. Keep in mind that the maximum theoretical transmission rates are never sustained or even reached really... and regarding that Windows is reporting it as 39mbps, that could be inaccurate (even as a maximum).
I think something is wrong with my 4965 card
