I can get up to 130Mbps and I followed the steps listed in support.
1) The 802.11 Mode is set to Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g
2) I am using encryption. WPA mode is set to Auto (WPA or WPA2) and the Cipher type is AES
3) The channel width on the DGL-4500 is set to Auto 20/40 MHz. If I try to force the DAP-1522 to 20/40MHz then I am not able to connect to my router (any ideas?). It simply will not connect until I switch it back to 20MHz.
I'm currently running firmware 1.12 on the DGL-4500 and version 1.02 on the DAP-1522. The DAP-1522 is set up as a bridge since I just want to connect my entertainment system (TV, PS3, etc...).
MAC Filtering is turned on (on the DGL-4500) and the DAP-1522's MAC is added.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
***Update***
I talked to a tech support guy at Dlink and he indicated that it's not possible to get a 300 Mbps connection between the two... is that true?

The DGL-4500 current firmware is having a problem with strict good neighbor policies that keep the router from connecting at HT 40 mode, we are working to correct this.

If you have the DAP in in a bridge mode you're only supposed to get access thru the LAN ports of the DAP.
Where are you getting that speed reading from?, Also could you provide a little more information as far how your network is set up so we could better assist you.

I can get up to 216mbps @66-80% this through 2 rooms on 5Ghz. I did a lot of moving both the router and bridge. For a while all I could get was 108-162mbps, but a little moving here and there helps. Both are vertical and I have the antennas on the dgl all facing back behind the router. Both also in 20/40 Mhz.
I didn't know about the dgl-4500 not being able to work well with the dap-1522.

so anon you max out at 216? That's kind of my same situation. I usually sit at a constant 162/5 as well. Maybe send me a pm?

Lycan, has this problem been resolved or will it be in a later firmware update? Am I getting a normal wireless rate according to my signal strength?

92% signal, but 81mbps is pretty sad. I was getting 216 then 165 then 108. It keeps dropping for some reason.
Thank you,

Something in the area is interfering with the two.

I don't know it's odd. It seems to degrade over time. Like it was rock solid for days. Then gotten slower and slower. I read a post on here saying to hard reset (unplug from power) the dap-1522 when changing settings or connection otherwise the connection will degrade.
hmmm
