I was downloading the same file from my NAS on both computers. Both computers approx 3 meters from the router. The file was traveling from my NAS, cat6 cable, Asus RT-AC68U, WiFi, to laptop, in both cases. Transfer was over SMB.

I'm at work now, but when I get home I do a better test for the actual speeds. My thinking is that I can set up my home server like this:
$ cat /dev/urandom | nc -l 1234
and then on my laptop
$ nc server.ip 1234 > /dev/null

That should be a better indicator for actual max speeds. I'll try to get that done tonight.

Is anybody else using an X200 with Atheros AR9285? What kind of speeds are you getting?
