IIRC, the 4S is a single dream, 2.4 GHz only, 802.11n Wi-Fi device. As such, the best case link speed is about 72 Mbps, with a real world throughput in the low to mid 30s Mbps. However, Netgear routers are configured to use long preamble, so max link speed drops to 65 Mbps, with a corresponding drop in throughput. Note: This assumes 20 MHz channels, which the router will use when other Wi-Fi networks are nearby.
All this translates to say that 25 Mbps is probably not that unreasonable. You may eek out a little extra speed by switching to short preamble, but that's about all you can expect out of a 4S.
