I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.  I have a DIR-825 with the 2.4ghz & 5ghz networks enabled both in draft n mode only.  I have a DAP-1522 in bridge mode connected to the 5ghz network.  The signal fluctuates between 90 - 98%, but my Rate (mbps) doesn't go over 108 mbps.  Shouldn't it be in the high 200's?  I have the dap-1522 about 30 ft away with no walls.  The only time I get 270 mbps is when the bridge is right beside the router.  These are my settings:
802.11 mode: 802.11n only
wireless channel: ch 161 5.805 ghz
transmission rate: best (automatic)
chanel witth 40 mhz:

If I fix the rate to mcs 13-104[216] or higher, the bridge keeps dropping the connection.

If I try the 2.4ghz network in draft n mode, then I max out at 130 mbps. 
Any advice on what I could try?

Try other channels

Channel 161 gives the strongest signal out of all of them so that's why I manually selected it.  If I enable auto scan chanel the the signal strength goes down to 60%

Wi-Fi can be funny that way. The best signal "may" not give you the best performance. You could try all of them while transferring a large file/HD movie and check the errors/speed for each.

there is more to it than that but i'm trying to keep it simple.

Ok, so I checked all the channels while trasfering a 50gb file.  I noticed that on ch40 I only get 45-60% signal, but the trasfer speed fluctuates between 54mbps & 240mbps.  On ch161 I get 95% signal, but the trasfer rate doesn't seem to fluctuate at all.  So how can I get a stable trasfer at 200mbps or higher?

I'm going to try the 2.4ghz frequency, but with that one I can only get to 130mbps with the bridge right beside the router.  I don't know why, but I thought draft n even at 2.4ghz should be able to do 300mbps.

placement would be something you could try

[SeksiBeast]

Tried moving around as much as I can, but not much.  I have the signal at 92%, but the speed is at 108mps.  I'm starting to feel it's not a very good quality unit.  I think my best bet is to return it and run a cable along the wall.  I won't look as nice, but at least it will work

108 mbps is not good enough ?? what do you have that transfers at that speed ?

Gee I don't know, maybe whatever he bought 802.11N hardware to transfer.

Who else finds this kind of response completely annoying? 

[jerry6]

get something like dumeter or bitmeter and see what kind of TRANSFER speeds you are getting on a comp with 300Mbps  connection speed , tell me it is anywhere near 300Mbps  , besides that  what is the transmit rate of the client sending the data ? Besides 300Mbps is the max rate under ideal conditions that are POSSIBLE , not guaranteed .  Pretty sure nobody has the ideal conditions in their setup , to many variables .

did you ever get this fixed?
