My router is TPLINK WR940N V3.0 (http://www.tplink.com/be/products/details/?model=TL-WR940N)

It is advertised at 450Mbps but when i check the network speed under network details in windows, the speed is only 300Mbps. I'd like to know what could possibly be bottlenecking my network.
 
Solution
The WIFI radio on your laptop/desktop. To get 450Mbit you have to have a three-stream (three antenna) radio. You apparently only have a dual-stream (two antenna) radio. 300 is the most you will get.
