I've pushed over 240mbit/s on my D-Link DIR-655 N "router" (which I use as nothing more than an AP) and an Intel 5300 NIC. You don't have to run dual frequency, but that was with a double (40MHz) channel.
I know that the dd-wrt project is quite popular, but for router and/or firewall duties, think they're all garbage compared to pfSense....but will allow that I have a complex setup with unusual requirements.
