Netgear 3700 help

[silverback]

After many hours of stress i finally got it working through my Bebox(set in bridge mode)

Now while I got pc working wired and wireless through netgear for some unknown reason for which I cannot figure out I Can connect my Laptop wirelessly to the SSID Netgear,
BUT,
It says no internet connection and I cant get laptop setup on home network so can share files between them?

Well,
Got it working, bloody dchp wasnt switched on like it should be, sod knows why.

Now I just need to figureout why From a twin band 300x2 mbps router im only getting 4.0max transfer wireless laptop-router-wireless pc. Even when connecting ethernet cable from pc to router and doing it that way Im still only getting a pathetic 9mbps.

According to all the reviews i should be getting 40-65ish mbps over wireless with the netgear 3700.

Anyone got any ideas why My transfer rates are so pathetically low???

Can the laptop's harddrive handle such speeds? You don't mention what model it is or what drive is inside it Overheads will be quite high on a laptop as well I imagine.
