Is it possible to get honest 300 mbps on 802.11n / 2.4 GHz on MacBook Air mid 2012?

There was already such a question , but there was no definite answer to it.
I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 and TP-Link wr1043nd. The WiFi connection is established at a speed of 144mbps.
Asus UX32VD connected to the same point at 300mbps.

I read the article , disabled TKIP, tried other shamanism too.

Is it possible to force a macbook to connect at 300mbps? Maybe some driver is alternative or something can be configured in the configs?

judging by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort#Integrated_AirPort_Extreme_802.11a.2Fb.2Fg_and_.2Fn_cards
there are 2*2, i.e. not 3 antennas
so 300 won't be
in the article you cited, it says "A 2x2 MIMO point can only support one SS, and will not go above 150Mbps. A point with 3x3 MIMO can support 2SS, limited to only 300Mbps.”
what the asus says about 300 Mbps ... and you measure the real speed with all sorts of parrot measurements

Perhaps it's the router? On my MB Air 2012, when working with a 5GHz time capsule, it shows 300.

Anonymous is the problem. N on 2.4 gives only 130 for me, although the maximum speed for 802.11n is set in the settings.
This is probably caused by a huge amount of interference on this frequency - there are about 20 other grids and other radio devices around.
