Like RWebb says.
Typically with consumer grade product everything will only run as fast as the slowest device on your network.
Something to check in the spec of the router.
Wireless N properly configured, bonded channels is capable of 300 Mbps. Even not bonded it's no slouch at ~150 Mbps.
But, and here's the big proverbial but.
That's for your internal network. If you think you're gonna be surfin faster you may be in for a let down since most consumer broadband is between 1-5 Mbps on the WAN side. Even if you are paying for 30 Mpbs your pipe to the net is still slower than your internal network.
