With regards to your second generation iPad ...
My third generation iPad (the first with the retina display) can only connect at a max of 65 Mbps on N 5 Ghz. I imagine your second generation would have been the same.
I think 4th generation iPad introduced true 150 Mbps connection rates. The iPad Air introduced true 300 Mbps connection rates. Of course we are talking N in both cases here.
Edit:
Oh ... considering you were using a NETGEAR router ... you could use the genie app's Network Map to determine link speed rates. At least to my laptop what I see via the genie has always been what Windows OS reports as the connection rate. (Why NETGEAR does not include this in the router GUI is beyond me.)
