Some questions which will greatly help in getting this resolved:
How are you connecting to the NAS? Samba/Cifs? NFS? FTP? How are you
measuring your bandwidth?
Check /etc/modprobe.d/* for a line that has something like:
iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
A lot of distributions have that on by default as there have been issues
with the iwlwifi driver using 802.11n.
Are you connecting to an open or wpa1+tkip access point? Try using
wpa2+ccmp instead. This is required for 802.11n to work. Windows may
not be enforcing that portion of the standard.
