Hi zb981gm,
we had a (somewhat) similar performance issue with our setup some time ago. We found out that a setup of two n-Cards in a single room decrease performance heavily, if both cards are under load at the same time. Forcing the cards into b/g mode did not help, so changing the cards to b/g hardware solved the problem for us.
May had to do with those fallback window override issues some n-Cards have, but not sure. In general, don't expect too much of an performance increase with n-Hardware on a USB 2.0 interface.
May be worth a try to look at first before fiddling around with the protocol, IMHO.
