>From (at least) iwn(4) and iwm(4): 802.11n operation is currently limited to data rates MCS 0 to MCS 7 Which means you'll get at most 150Mbps with a 40 MHz channel under perfect conditions. If you want that kind of bandwidth (actually, even if you don't) I'd advise getting a dedicated access point or a wi-fi router that you can configure as such.
