The AR9485 is literally bottom of the range and not capable of speeds higher than 50-55Mbps or so, a new router will make no difference in speed. You might get slightly more range, but that's debatable. The laptop also cannot be easily upgraded to achieve higher speeds, though switching the Superhub from 145 to 300Mbps mode (if you ever find the setting) could help, at the cost of range and reliability..

The link rate is the connection speed of your wireless card, or what speed it says it's connected at.
The TCP throughput is the actual download speed you get using a "normal" internet download.
