Usually I use my home router (which has an attached HDD) for

rsync tops at ~400Kbps
Rsync is not a maximally efficient file transfer tool. What it excels at is
incremental transfer, when you have some of a set of files, or a portion of a
file you need to extend, such as updating a copy of a growing log file.
apache+wget tops at ~1.1Mbps
netcat tops at ~1.4Mbps
You might also try scp or sftp. On a LAN or if one endpoint is CPU constrained
(probably the data source) you may find that compression is actually a lose. If
your source data is already low redundancy (video, many audio formats, most
image data, already compressed files like .gz or .zip) then compression is
definitely a lose.
Finally, on a LAN you may be able to mount one end or the other as a remote
filesystem. Then you can benchmark plain old "cp" over SMB or NFS etc.
