Not reaching optimum speeds with IEEE 802.11n

Hi All,
We are using Ralink chip Rt3072L (using rt2800usb drivers rt2800usb.c), mac80211, and hostapd in our routers.
root:~# lsmod

When we are measuring performance using iperf, we see ~20Mbps, using Channel 11 of 2.4GHZ, using 802.11n. The following is the iperf stats with iperf client running on the router and iperf server running on a laptop with IEEE802.11n adapter.

We are expecting speeds of upto 300Mbps(as per 802.11n specs), though those speeds are achievable using channel bonding over 5GHZ? However at 2.4GHZ also we believe the speeds we are seeing are far too low....what are the maximum achievable speeds that we can expect in our setup and how to achieve them.....are there any performance tuning techniques that we can use....please reply asap as this is very urgent.
