802.11n = 1mb/s transfer?

[loki_racer]

I have a Linksys E4200 configured with WPA2 Personal (doesn't give a choice of AES or TKIP) and two WET610N with a switch and computer on each.

Before I moved, these computers were all on 10/100/1000 and could get amazing speeds. Now that we've moved and can't network the place, I had to move to wirless, and the transfer speeds are horrific.

The best I can get is around 1MB/s. This is with no outside traffic, nothing running on either machine, decent wireless signals, and zero changes that I can think of from when they were wired.

I haven't put DD-WRT on the E4200 but am willing to if people think that will help. Any ideas?

I'm not sure of stock firmware but I know third party firmware such as DD-WRT, OpenWRT, and I believe Tomato can give more information such as how many transmit (TX) and receive (RX) packets had errors.

One thing can be interference depending on the band you are using, your location, what is in between your computer and it (type of walls, etc.), as well as how many other wireless networking devices are within range.

I live in the sticks so there's nothing else in the spectrum. No cordless phones, etc. The WET610N's aren't more than 30 ft from the E4200. One has zero walls between them and the other has a floor between them.

Forgot to mention, both machines are Windows 7 Professional x64 with 8GB and 16GB, quad core, blah blah.
