Router is Asus RT-N66U. Laptop says is has a 450Mbps wireless connection. I'm talking network speeds here, not internet, this is all internal. Copying 20GB of files, the windows copy dialog box reports about 11MBps. This is copying to a server on the wired network. Shouldn't I expect something faster? I get mbps vs MBps. I've tried disabling the 2.4ghz connection, disabling all but wireless N, changing the wireless channel (all on the router). Not sure what to try next. Thanks.
Laptop says 450Mbps to Wireless Router, but network speeds seem slow

Yes thats because you are connected with wi-fi. The actual speed will be lower. your router is capable of 450mpbs. thats why your laptop is showing 450mbps of speed

Sounds like you are bottlenecking at a 10/100 port somewhere. Your router is 10/100/1000 so that is not it. Most likely it is on the server, which is slowing the whole thing down.
Also be aware that these manufacturers advertise the maximum speeds, but the real world ones are no where near that, and significantly slower.

Take a look at this chart if you want to see depressing information.

Even the very best 802.11ac routers can only do a few hundred mbits on wireless download and it greatly varies based on signal quality.
I am going to bet the number you are seeing is about the best you can expect on your equipment.
The router manufacture would never be able to sell new routers to all the sheep who only read the headlines if they published real world throughput numbers rather than some silly value that represents some theoretical value.
