R510 Network Slow Speeds averaging 30-50 Mbps

Hello,
I have 3 R510's in my home.  1 for each floor, ceiling mounted and placed central to each floor.   None of the clients on our network can ever achieve more than 50Mbps.   My PC which is 15ft around a slight corner from the AP got 30 Mbps down and 80Mbps up on an AP to Client speed test.

I am fairly technical, but Wi-Fi AP's is not my specialty.   I found this great thread where changing the setting from "performance" to "compatibility" helped tremendously.

I don't see anything like that.

I have 1GB cable modem, and am about to change my network to a Dual Wan 1Gb Fiber Connection + a 200Mbps Cable connection.  But none of this does any good if the clients are stuck at 30Mbps.

Any thoughts on how to optimize this network?

Thanks

My personal test directly connected showed varying results 400Mbs to 600Mbps, the cable guy did a test to the CMTS (edge router) and the pipe is definitely giving 1Gbps, which is fine.

My concern is AP to Client.  Why would an AP to Client test only give me 30Mbps?

Here are the iPerf Results...  This is windows to windows (best I can do).  Both Pc's are no more than 15 ft from their APs.    Server is upstairs AP and client is Main floor AP.

You are a STUD! What FW are you running on your APs? And can you print your `netsh Show Wlan driver` on the test client?

One more please show your output for `netsh wlan show interface` wanted to see what band you were on, and what the channelization is.
That card... I _know_ that card, I've used them for YEARS and YEARS! USB 2.0, and OEM driver support ended in 2013! Do you have a different test card?
