Good point. I did not take into consideration the wireless encryption
being done. Using ttcp I got these results:
11M = 4.48 Mbit/sec +++
54M = 8.68 Mbit/sec +++
On a regular 10/100 NIC I get 87.03 Mbit/sec +++
With or with encryption overhead that is significantly faster than the
wireless connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James
