Hi guys,
I'm having a very hard time figuring this one out and I was wondering if you could help me out.
SETUP
Wireless Router: D-Link DIR-655 (revision A4, firmware 1.34NA)
File server: Gigabit Ethernet (running Windows Home Server)
Laptop: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (running Win7)
Desktop: D-Link DWA-556 XTREME N PCI Express Desktop Adapter (running Win7)
Note: I retrieved the following information using the Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector.
Router settings: Channel 1, 5 | Frequency: 2412, 2432
On the laptop: Signal strength:-44 dBm | Mode: 802.11n | Encyrption: AES-CCMP | Authentication: WPA2/PSK
On the desktop: Signal strength:-59 dBm | Mode: 802.11n | Encyrption AES-CCMP | Authentication: WPA2/PSK
I have attached a screenshot of all the wireless network areas within range. It's a screenshot from Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector running on my laptop. The very first network on the list is mine.
ISSUE
My test is to copy a single large file (4GB in size) from my file server to the laptop and the desktop.
Note: It doesn't matter where my laptop is located, I still get about the same speed. I can place it right next to the router itself and get -10dBm signal, however the speed will never exceed 4MB/sec.
Any ideas?

My test is to copy a single large file (4GB in size) from my file server to the laptop and the desktop.
- When my laptop or desktop are connected via a cable, I get 70MB/sec+ on both.
- When my laptop is connected via wireless, I get 4MB/sec.
- When my desktop is connected via wireless, I get 2MB/sec.
