So it would appear my WiFi is on the slow side...

The way I am setup is as follow:
FTTC -> BT Modem -> Draytek 2820 Wan 2

Now from The Draytek 2820:
- I use the 1Gbps port to go to a 1Gbps switch for the wired lan. So not touching that.
- I user one of the 100Mbps port to go to my Netgear WN604 Access point. I then have a laptop on WiFi N (it says it connects at 65Mpbs, not sure why).

Now the numbers:
- speedtest.net on the wired lan: 37 Mpbs
- speedtest.net on the wifi:  22 Mpbs

Wifi is on channel 13. I got quite a few other network nearby (about 15), but channel 13 is clear ish (1,6,11 completly jammed). It would appear I should be able to get better speed out of the WFi, but I don't... Clues anyone?

Are you getting any packet loss on the wifi connections?

You should get sustained throughput of about 40% of the connection speed so your not far off in terms of a connection speed of 65Mbps. Using the 2.5Ghz band I connect at 144Mbps (300Mbps on 5Ghz)

See this thread and especially the later posts http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1625166

"65 Mbit/s is the speed single-antenna (N-lite) at 20 MHz band achieves (with longer guard interval; it's 72 Mbit/s with shorter). The adapter is probably N-lite and your 2.4 GHz access point uses a 20 MHz band."
