If I remember right, WPA2-AES is one of the better ones for the newer Wireless-N models--better encryption, with minimal impact on performance for the trade-off provided it has a decent chipset. Older models though may choke on it--it's worth testing though, especially if there is sensitive data moving over your wireless.

Other things to look at that often get overlooked are the channel number, the width of the channels (20/40/80Mhz), Band selection (2.4GHz or 5GHz, disable the unused bands to avoid mixed-mode compatibility that can slow things down), and the radio power settings.

Mileage can very, but in theory you can increase you chances of faster transfer rates on your local network simply by tweaking the primary band (2.4/5GHz, no B/G allowed, etc) and the width of each channel--more noticeable with the higher end dual-channel models (n-900, Wireless-AC, etc.). Sometimes the auto channel select doesn't work out so hot... conditions can change at the drop of a hat and the router doesn't switch the channel on the fly. So it may be worth scanning/testing some alternate channels on your own.

Repositioning the router/antennae can make some differences too if you aren't registering high transfer rates locally. I've found that often the power settings for the antennas are set low by default as well. Bumping them a little can sometimes nab you the extra couple decibels you need for a cleaner lock--just be aware that doing so may cause the router to generate more heat, so you'll want to keep an eye on it for a while to make sure it doesn't cause any problems.
