Unless you are using one of the SOHO access point units (my sample sample space=2) in which case, the performance falls off rapidly when interior or exterior walls are in the way! At 12:51 PM 7/6/2001 -0400, Leo Bicknell wrote:

symetric 11 Mbps sounds...goofy. especially if based on 802.11b, which utilizes a broadcast mechanism. besides, i've yet to meet *anyone* who got past about 2/3 of the theoretical "bandwidth" of 802.11b. imho, it's the spinal tap of the networking era (it "goes to 11", but is actually just a rumor and sort of made up).
I believe you will find 802.11b performs about as well, on average, as 10 meg shared ethernet.
