Clients not connecting at high speeds

Running an Asus RT-N16 with Kong 22200M build, and I can't get my wireless clients to connect at high speeds.

Can't seem to get higher rate than 65Mbps as shown in the wireless status tab in DD-WRT and Task Manager on the clients.

Settings changed from default are:

  • NG Mixed
  • Channel 1
  • 20 MHz
  • Ack timing 0
  • WPA2 Personal
  • AES
  • CTS disable
  • Preamble short
  • Shortslot Override short
  • "wl -i eth1 interference 2" on startup

I used inSSIDer to select channel 1, which was the best Link Score for my neighborhood.

SNR varies from 25-35 with the client about 30 feet away in the next room.

How can I improve speeds?

Your clients are probably

Your clients are probably single stream wireless devices like mobile phones etc. around 65mbps is ok for those devices under these circumstances.

"wl -i eth1 interference 2" I don't recommend that setting with the latest build unless you have tested, that it works better by doing a long term test.

Using an HP ProBook 4540s with an Atheros AR9485 built-in wireless.  22200M looks like it defaults to interference 4 mode.  When mode 4 is enabled, the SNR dips down to about 24.  When mode 2 is enabled, the SNR stays around 35.

If not this build, what build do you reccomend as the best build for the RT-N16?
