It's a combination of a few things: the WiFi bands your router supports, the distance from and signal strength your wireless devices are seeing, and the actual wireless networking hardware built into the devices.
When Wireless-N came out, 300Mbps was the theoretical throughput that full-size wireless NICs were able to connect at. But if you had a laptop with a mini Wireless-N card, you could go into the connection properties and you'd see that the maximum connection speed was only 150Mbps.
So even a device that supports all the wireless bands and frequencies you have available for the fastest possible speeds might not be able to achieve them. And as you get into rated theoretical maximums for wireless hardware, there's even more that comes into play, like the fact that a wireless AP that supports 1300Mbps is referring to a number that is limit, a maximum that is cumulative of all its connected clients. You won't see that throughput for a single connected device.
