I see some people in this thread have reported Wireless-N transfer speeds with this router of between 14MB/s to 18MB/s. I must be doing something wrong because my wireless speeds are nowhere near that. My wired speeds are barely in that range.
Any suggestions on what I can do to improve my Wireless-N results? The following is my setup and the results I'm currently getting accessing the referenced attached USB drive. If a setting is not referenced, that means it's at the factory default.
