I have a net gear router able to transfer up to 300MBS. I have a Centrino 6230 wireless card suppose to be up to 300MBS also.
at full bars it only goes up to 180 MBS. How can I increase this speed? seems like I should be able to hit mid to high 200 easily?
any recommendations on settings or anything?

Try disabling the bluetooth functions. Also run inSSIDer and check what your wireless environment looks like.
-
to obtain full speed on the router set it to 'n' only

Is it a 5ghz? or only 2.4ghz router?
-
Not sure if 5 or 2.4ghz. It's less than a year old and it was the 2nd best NetGear of the series. unfortunately I can't set router to n only. netgear or at least mine can't do that. I checked all tabs and tried researching it. I did update firmware which did little to nothing.

I do plan to get modem 3.0 which should give me a 4mbs boost. I guess 2.0 only cap at 8mbs download speed and my comcast is the boost that should hit 15mbs. at least that's what comcast told me

what model netgear router is it?
I have a WNR2000 V2 and it is 300mbps and it is only 2.4ghz. I have flashed it with ddr-wrt I am pleased but it just doesn't serve a purpose to keep as I want 5ghz really. -

dd-wrt actually hurts the wireless performances if I recall. It adds more options but you take performance hit. I would switch it back to factory firmware if you don't need the special features that dd-wrt offers. -
Just a stupid question.(no offense) Are you sitting next to your router when checking the connect speed?
-
DD-WRT is terrible don't use it. It is beta firmware. I used it when I first got my WNR3500L and had disconnection problems with my wireless. I even tried it twice because it looked so polished but after bricking the router the first time I was able to recover it. Then about a month later I decided to try it again and after a week had the major wireless problems. Now I just stick with the stock firmware although ugly GUI I rarely have to reboot my router.

Also if your NOT transfering files wirelessly there is no need in having 300mbps wireless speed. -
