Ok so here is my setup. Cable coming in router "A". I have R52Hn cards in both routers. Router A is ap bridge and router "B" is pseudobridge. So I have NO problem downloading at my internet connections max speed wirelessly which is somewhere around 30Mb. I have my desktop in another room connected to the lan on router B. Oh by the way they are routerboard 532a's running 5.11.

Both Wireless and wired connections get 30Mbps down when downloading from the internet. my upload is only around 6Mbps outgoing and I get that sending out. When I file transfer between any wireless clients in any combination i can only get around 1.2MBps max and on avg it's normally more like 700-800KBps. I've tried a TON of different settings. I have an N centrino card in my laptop (i know it's not great) but shouldn't i still be able to get at least g speeds. Transferring files over my local network is so painful! If I could even get 4MB a sec i would be such a happy camper. any ideas? thanks in advance! If i do wired to router A with my laptop & Wired to router B with desktop I can get 2-4Mbps. I'm not using wds but i've tried with and without it.

Edit: the area i'm in is a little congested but the connections are all -80 or worse to my -20 to -35 so it shouldn't be do to environmental conditions.

I also don't have any ques setup or anything special. I setup the very minimal settings to troubleshoot. Just dhcp, basic nat, bridge.

If you have signals about -20 to -35, try to reduce the TX power and you will get more speed.
