I'm trying to connect to my new router at a speed of 300Mbps. My new wireless router accepts 300Mbps in 2.4Mhz and 450Mbps in 5Mhz. I'm testing right next to the router and I get 150Mbps top.
I'm pretty aware of what 150/300/450Mbps means in real life, but the thing is that connecting to 150Mbps won't give anything above 8MBps when transfering files over the network.
I tested all the same in Windows 7 and I can get links of 300Mbps (fluctuating, but very stable at that speed), whit 22MBps for file transfers.
Is there something I can do? Thank you!
Edit: adding some info from terminal commands

Often something IPS's catch you out on, I'm guessing you put 8MB with the capital "B" intentionally?
There is a difference between megaBITS and megaBYTES, your ISP will say you will get a 150Mb/s connection speed which is roughly 10+/- MB/s (MegaBytes)
