Although it's wireless N, it's only a single stream device which means it's only capable of a maximum communication speed of 75mbps:

Actual throughput would be a lot less than the communication speed due to overheads, even less with interference.
Buy a better wireless adapter and you'll get closer to your full wired speed.

No, you're only counting standard communication overheads that reduce you to 105mb given a perfect connection. I'm talking additional problems.
We only have one wired speed test to go by so far. Not a good statistical indication. Perhaps if he ran it several times he would get a result closer to 100, but then again perhaps he has a cat5 cable and low SNR levels. Lots of unknowns here.
