hey, guys, hoping someone might be able to help me out with this since Asus isn't able to. I've been calling forever and every time I call in I'm told that their systems are down and they'll call me back when they are up, but no one ever does.
Anyways, I have an Asus N16 router. Suppose to be kick ass for P2P and such, but I'm getting really REALLY slow transfer speeds between computers at home. I have my gaming rig wired directly, then I have my file server, and my girlfriend's laptop running wirelessly. When I try to watch a high def movie from my server to my gaming rig, or my girlfriend's laptop, it always pauses every so often. I run a check and they are saying they are connecting at 135-145Mb/s, but actual transfer rates are ~2MB/s (which is about 16Mb/s). Even if I'm holding the laptop inches away from the wireless router I am still getting these kind of rates.
btw, forgot to add, I've tried using a USB wireless N adapter as well as a wireless access bridge to plug into the computer. They all get the same speeds. Common denominator is the Asus router.
Any ideas how to get better speeds? Should I get a new WiFi router, and if so which one (leaning toward Trendnet if anyone has an opinion on it)? Would those power line networking things give me a better speed for my server at least?

I have something similar with my Linksys E2000 - my PS3 has horrific download speeds if connected wirelessly but fine if wired. Similarly, transferring files over the network (which should be gigabit) from my PC to my laptop or vice-versa takes ages - longer than transferring via USB drive!

If anyone knows the answer to this problem, please do share. It makes no sense...
