If you are strictly N, and not suffering co-channel defers, then some extra speed may be gained if you turn off B/G protection, on the other hand, if you are sharing a channel with B/G sytems (yours or others), then protection should be on or auto.

Hunting for the least impeded channel is also useful, remember that 5 channel spacing is needed to clear completely, 4 is more or less ok (the compromise 1, 5, 9, 13 layout), and while Wifi scan software will show you active broadcasting networks, there are other devices that will not be identified (eg. Video senders), so if a channel performs very poorly, there may be interference.

Also, N-150 or "N-lite" needs two whole channels, while N-300, needs two channels and the antenna diversity.

Who passed the N specification? Using two "big" channels when the entire band offers just 3 or at most 4, is BRUTAL!
