Well I applied the settings you suggested and right after applied those i touched to almost 350 mbps but later since morning i am back to low speed.
As a comparison I am attaching 2 side by side speed tests. one is Lan and other is over wifi.
I applied all the settings as told.

Have you tried using a wifi scanning program to do a site survey of the wifi channels in use at your location? It could be that your neighbors are using the same channels you are using causing interference and thus low speeds.

Download the Wifi Explorer app.
WiFi Explorer gathers configuration and capability information about all the networks it discovers and presents it on an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface. Information includes network name (SSID), BSSID, vendor, country code, channel, band, security configuration, supported data rates, number of streams, and much more.
