    Hi,

    I have a DIR-655 router and connects with an Intel AGN 5300. I can see in the Wireless-client list in the DIR-655 web administration that I connect at between 270 Mbps and 300 Mbps. Signal quality is 90%-100%.

    However - if I copy a file from my DLink 313 NAS the speed is only around 8Mbytes/second. The same file copy from but from the DIR-655 Gigabit wired connection I can get 15Mbytes/second.

    So the difference is the wireless connection, but at max n-speed (300 Mbps) I would expect much more speed than around 70 Mbps. I would also expect more than 120 Mbps from the wired connection but thats probably a different issue.

    What could be wrong with my wireless setup? It isnt normal is it? Is the DIR-655's wireless QoS and what not dissing my experience?
