Can I have faster Wifi?

I am transferring files across two machines.
Code:Machine1 <-> Ethernet <-> router <-> Wifi <-> Machine2
$ scp -pr /path/to/directory user@192.168.1.18:/path/to/destinationI notice that the transfer speed never gets past 6MB/s. It usually floats around 4 to 5MB/s. That's 802.11b speed. My equipment is not that old. It should support 802.11g or even 802.11n. Is there anything I can do to improve throughput?
