Yeah, OK, that's pretty sucky. So it does look like it's the driver
or firmware or some setting on the interface that's limiting the speed.
I guess you could try "iw dev wlan0 link" to see what speed it thinks
it's running at and "iw dev wlan0 scan dump" to see more details, but
I don't know what else to try. Are you using any special hardware
drivers (e.g. nVidia binaries, etc.)? They might have an effect.
My output from those looks like:

This should be 802.11n (only n, no backwards compatibility for b),
WPA2-PSK. I'm not quite sure how to interpret the above, to know if
anything stands out.
It's interesting that your n bitrates show up in the "extended supported
rates" rather than the "standard rates". I'm not a wifi guru so I
can't
interpret a lot of that either. Here's what I have:
[root@golem4 ~]# iw dev wlan0 link

My link shows a 57.8Mbit transmit rate and my access point (from the
"scan dump" shows the n rates in the "supported rates" area.
