WAP4410N bridge settings - best performance?

I ordered a pair of WAP4410N to use as a bridge for a split office. So far they have worked without a hitch but the throughput is less than stellar and I was wondering what the recommended configuration was for best performance (and how much speed could be expected in general) out of these two?

The setup:

2 WAP4410N devices connected to cisco SF300 series POE managed switches, on 100mb PoE port for data and power

static IP's for both

Wireless mode set to B/G/N mixed on a channel where other AP's don't reside

security as wpa2-personal with a 16 character complex password

AP mode is 'bridged' and each node has the other's MAC

Firmware:

PID VID:     WAP4410N-A V02

Software Version:     2.0.4.2

The two nodes are separated by about 25 yards across a parking lot with direct LoS to the other, placed inside a window mounted on the wall - elevated at about 10' so cars in the lot outside do not block visibility. At best the throughput I've seen is 1megabyte/sec, and that seems very slow/clunky to me for the 802.11n specification. Am I missing some setting, updated firmware, or physical setup (AC power instead of PoE for better antenna output maybe?) to have such limited performance?

Thanks in advance.
